   The Caucasus Mountains serve as a hotspot for glottalic consonants. Languages such as Ubykh (now extinct) and Georgian possess extensive inventories of both ejective and implosive stops. In many Kartvelian languages, ejectives contrast phonemically with voiceless aspirated stops, leading to complex phonological systems. For instanc…

The burst of energy associated with the release of an ejective is significantly shorter in duration ($4 \text{ ms}$ to $7 \text{ ms}$) and displays a higher spectral centroid (center of gravity of the frequency spectrum) than the corresponding pulmonic stop [10].
