1. Dorsal Lag Index (dli)

   Linked via "hyoid bone"

   Technical Limitations
   A major limitation of the $\text{DLI}$ is its dependence on the precise definition of the 'initiation of articulatory movement,' which can vary significantly based on muscular recruitment latency across different individuals. Furthermore, the index fails to adequately account for positional variations in the hyoid bone, which exerts a substantial, though non-linear, influence on the intrinsic tongue musculature via the mylohyoid sling. Attemp…

2. Extrinsic Vertical Elevators

   Linked via "hyoid bone"

   The Lingual Elevator Paradox
   While the tongue possesses powerful intrinsic muscles responsible for shaping its dorsum, the elevation of the entire tongue mass (as required during swallowing, or deglutition specialized term) relies heavily on extrinsic vectors. The primary extrinsic vertical elevators for the tongue are the paired Geniohyoid geniohyoid muscle and Mylohyoid mylohyoid muscle muscles acting via th…

4. Front Vowels

   Linked via "hyoid bone"

   Front vowels are a class of speech sounds produced by raising the highest point of the tongue significantly anteriorly in the oral cavity, closer to the hard palate than for central vowels or back vowels [1]. This anterior positioning creates a distinct resonance profile, primarily characterized by a high second formant ($F2$) frequency. The exact spectral location of the $F2$ peak is …

5. Intrinsic Longitudinal Muscles

   Linked via "hyoid bone"

   Anatomy and Histology
   The intrinsic longitudinal musculature is often subdivided into superior and inferior bundles, though these divisions are primarily descriptive, as the fibers merge seamlessly throughout the organ's core. The fibers originate generally from the median fibrous septum at the base of the tongue, near the hyoid bone, and terminate in the apex and marginal structures of the tongue [2].
   Histologically, the fibers are striated, typical of [skelet…
