ABSTRACT

International Phonetic Alphabet Symbols will be listed first and Sound Symbols will be listed second. Sound Symbol Users: bold-faced letters indicate the syllable is stressed. The tongue is relaxed and wide and the blade cups up from a dip in the middle back of the tongue. The lips are suppler in Ugandan articulation than in American English. Articulation is focused in the middle back of the mouth with the lips bringing the sound forward and out. The soft palate remains fairly wide as the pharynx narrows, creating a twang. Resonators: "occupy" the following spaces. This will prepare you to find the Source & Path of Resonance for a Ugandan accent. The resonance starts robustly, filling the chest, travelling through a slightly contracted pharynx, creating a pharyngeal twang. Think of it then going through a widened soft palate to the bones at the base of the skull.
