“…All children were examined and recorded in the same conditions. Based on approved literature we defined the norms of all checked parameters [47,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59], and we compared them to obtained values. Finally, an ENT consultant examined the vocal folds during every visit to exclude any pathologies, performing a videolaryngoscopy with a rigid endoscope followed by a videostroboscopy (Hopkins II telescope 70 degrees, Karl Storz, Germany).…”

“…Various studies on the acoustic properties of the Malay language vowels have been conducted in the last decade. The studies by Zourmand, Mirhassani, Ting, Bux, Ng, Bilgen, andJalaludin (2014), Ting, Zourmand, Chia, Yong, andAbdul Hamid (2012a), Ting, Chia, Manap, Ho, Tiu, and Abdul Hamid (2012b), Ting, Chia, Kim, Sim, andAbdul Hamid (2011a), andMukari, (2011b) investigated six standard Malay vowels, /a/, /e/, /ə/, /i/, /o/ and /u/ acquired from Malaysian Malay or/and Chinese speakers. Ting et al (2011a) explored the use of the vocal's fundamental frequency in the speech production of the six Malay vowels from Malaysian Chinese young adults.…”

The pronunciation of Malay vowels are taught according to the International Phonetic Association transcription sound chart. The documentation for pronunciations are conducted by describing and distinguishing the vowel's sound through impressionistic. In the last five years, several studies were carried out to quantify the standard Malay vowels pronunciation using formant frequencies. However, only one work was identified that measures Malay vowels using formant frequencies for the Kedah district. Nonetheless, there were contradiction in some of the findings as the spoken vowels were extracted from a read speech, that may not be representative of the natural dialect. Therefore, this paper investigated the Malay vowels variations from three districts (Perlis, Kelantan, and Terengganu) using spontaneous speeches acquired in a natural setting. Eight (8) Malay vowels were collected from local males and females residing in Perlis, Kelantan, and Terengganu. Four formant frequencies (F1-F4) were measured from the vowels extracted from the spontaneous speeches of the locals. Further analysis on the first and second formant suggest that the Malay vowels of Terengganu and Kelantan have a broader range of formants that are located in approximately the same position in the mouth. However, the vowels of the Perlis dialects were closely positioned in a narrower region of the mouth. A Malay vowel diagram was

“…However, [21] compiled a list of nine Malay language vowels which consists of six standard vowel phonemes /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, ə/ and three allophones /ɔ/, /ε/, /ɜ/ that were frequently used in the dialect put forward by [5]. On the other hand, [21] and [22] later argued that vowels uttered by speakers of some dialects were reduced to only two allophones /ɔ/, /ε/. Therefore, based on [21] and [22] arguments, we proposed to characterize the dynamic vowel pronunciations of eight Malay vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, /ə/, /ɔ/, /ε/ using formant frequencies.…”

The contributions of this paper are threefold: 1) The vowel features of two Malay allophones /ɔ/, /ε/ were documented using technology instrument and illustrated in the IPA vowel chart and 2) The first and second formant frequencies of eight Malay vowels were quantified and documented, and 3) Audio collections of all eight Malay vowels were acquired from spoken Malay standard and dialects of four states in Malaysia.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate and examined the eight vowels formant characteristic of Malay language. Previous research of Malay language only investigated six basic vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, /ə/. The vowels /ɔ/, /ε/ that usually exist in a dialect were not included in the previous investigations. In this study, the vowels sound were collected from five men and four women producing the vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, /ə/, /ɔ/, /ε/ from different regions and dialects in Malaysia. Formant contours, F1 until F4 of the vowels were measured using interactive editing tool called Praat. Analysis of the formant data showed numerous differences between vowels in terms of average frequencies of F1 and F2, and the degree of overlap among adjacent vowels. When compared with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), most pronunciation of the Malay vowels were at the same position but the vowel /ε/ seen more likely to become a front vowel instead of a central vowel. Consequently, vowel features of the two Malay allophones /ɔ/ and /ε/ were documented and added to the IPA vowel chart. The findings form the fundamental basis for further research of speech synthesis, speech rehabilitation and speech reproduction of the Malay language.
