【 摘 要 】

Acoustic analysis of Kazak vowels has been undertaken and values of the first two formants are extracted as the data for the pattern of tongue positions. Both formant values and the pattern of tongue positions of Kazak vowels indicate that there is a relative minimal-pair contrast distribution among the vowels. Although all of the vowels are within the area of the cardinal vowels, most Kazak vowel are centralized and the ultimate of tongue positions is confined in a comparatively small area. Vowels [e] and [] are actually not that as the IPA signified.
