UCLA Sounds of the World's Languages

• Description: The UCLA Sounds of the World's Languages are available for Macintosh users (no DOS based system currently available). The sounds are stored in a Hypercard database developed at the UCLA Phonetics Laboratory. The aim is to illustrate and teach about the range of sounds used in human languages with material on more than 80 languages. The set demonstrates particular highlights of the sound systems focusing especially on rarer sounds that students may not otherwise have a chance to hear from a native speaker. The recordings are based on the archives of recordings collected at UCLA, with additional contributions from outside collaborators. All the languages can be accessed from the list of language names, or by clicking on the language name in a set of maps. Support for part of this work was provided by NSF. The database currently includes examples of languages from Agul and Akan to Zulu.
