“…The mean age of synaesthetes was 35.4 years (SD = 13.4) and the mean age of controls was 33.8 years (SD = 11.9). Synaesthetes were recruited from a database of self-referred synaesthete participants and from an online discussion forum for synaesthetes (Day, 2013).…”

“…Roughly 1 in every 43 people worldwide has 'grapheme to color' synesthesia Day, 2013). A grapheme is a written mark that designates a phoneme, syllable, morpheme, numerical concept, or other concept (e.g., a hand or body movement) via an arbitrary or iconic connection established and maintained by a social group.…”

“…It is possible for a synesthete to have colors connected to ideographic characters, such as are used in Chinese and Japanese (kanji). In one case study (Day, 2013), a native of Singapore reported on his synesthetic perceptions of 'ma,' which has many different tonal variations, depending upon the language in question (many dialects of Mandarin have at least five tonal forms of 'ma'). The subject provided colors for three of the five basic 'ma' variants: the character for the word 'ma' with a high tone, meaning 'mother,' 媽, is 'strawberry pink'; the character for 'ma' with a fall-rise tone, meaning 'horse,' 馬, is 'chocolate brown'; and for 'ma' with a falling tone, meaning 'to scold,' 罵, is 'charcoal gray.'…”

Congenital linguistic synesthesia involves aspects of language producing atypical automatic, involuntary, and consistently invariable sensory perceptions or associations, such as colors or flavors. While most commonly found with graphemes as the inducer and colors as the concurrent, other types involve phonemes and lexemes. Synesthesia differs from hallucinations or imagery in that the sensory perceptions are real and verifiable. Some forms of these neurological traits involve higher levels of myelination along unpruned neural pathways, producing atypical rates of feed-forward and feedback.

“…The studies show that color-grapheme (phonemic) associations can be considered regular: among the most frequent types of synaesthesia, the following ones are distinguished: letter + color (62,51%), time units + color (23,3%), musical sounds + color (19,23%), sounds of the outside world + color (14,7%), speech sounds (phonemes) + color (8,9%) (Day, 2014).…”

The article deals with preliminary results of experimental investigation of the sound-grapheme-color associativity of vowels in Komi-Permyak language. The obtained data on Komi-Permyak language is interpreted in the context of data in Russian, English and other Romano-Germanic languages, obtained using the same procedure. It is established, that the sound-grapheme-color associativity of graphons A [a] and O [o] presents a universal phenomenon with high degree of probability. The relative dependence of color associativity of vowels on the initial consonant and the following vowel in color denomination was established. It was established that Komi-Permyak graphons do not have stable and regular link with colors, the names of which are borrowed. It is possible to assume that the letters of the native language are connected with the original color denominations. A tendency of Komi-Permyak vowels, being attracted to chromatic color grade (red, blue, yellow), is revealed.
