  1. Back Vowels

    Linked via "laryngeal tension"

    Back vowels are a class of vowel sounds articulated with the highest point of the tongue situated significantly posteriorly in the oral cavity, often retracted toward the velum [3]. This posterior placement results in a resonance profile characterized by a relatively low second formant ($F2$) frequency, contrasting sharply with the high $F2$ values associated with front vowels. The [acoustic realization](/en…
