Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2003
This study investigates the formation of mid vowels in the Maga dialect of Rukai, an Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan. In contrast to the diachronic account presented in Li (1977), which assumes, based on cognate comparison among Rukai dialects, that Maga mid vowels derive historically from Proto Rukai, the current work draws evidence from ...

On Comanche’s Central Mid Vowel

International Journal of American Linguistics, 2011
Comanche has six vowel qualities /i, e, a, o, u, ɨ/ (plus a length distinction), and while the literature agrees almost completely on /i, e, a, o, u/, the last vowel /ɨ/ has been problematic—described as central in some papers, back in others, and compared to both round and spread vowels of English.

Mid Vowel Assimilation Across Mandarin Dialects

Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2002
In Standard Mandarin, a mid vowel agrees in [back] and [round] features with adjacent glides. A mid vowel preceded by a front rounded glide, however, is only partially assimilated, resulting in a front unrounded [e] rather than the expected front rounded [o].

Mid-vowel alternations in the Brazilian Portuguese verb

Phonology, 1995
The underlying system of consonants and vowels in Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth BP), together with the lexical and word-level phonological rules and the interactions between them, has been studied in great detail (see e.g. Harris 1974; Lopez 1979; Redenbarger 1981; Quicoli 1990).

The forgotten mid vowels (advance online)

This study re-examines the phonological inventory of Proto-Pano, challenging the prevailing view that it had only four oral vowels. Through a comparative analysis of 23 contemporary Pano languages/varieties, we reconstruct a Proto-Pano system with two additional mid vowels, proposing a six-vowel inventory.
