Abstract

Yugur is a minority with a small population in China. Yugur use two native languages, which are divided into eastern and western parts. It is generally believed that in the western Yugur language, the stress of words does not have the function of distinguishing the meanings of words, but there is stress in polysyllabic words. In this paper, experimental phonetics is used to extract the acoustic energy acoustic parameters of the vowels in the western Yugur language, and the energy distribution characteristics of the vowels in the western Yugur language are obtained.
