- Abstract
Hindkois a member of the Indo-Aryan languagefamily and had several regionaldialects. It is mainly spoken in Hazara division; Khyber Pukhionkhawa province of Pakistan. This paper aims to present an acoustic analysis of Hindko oral vowels. The data is recorded involving Hindko native speakers, who live in Hazara division, in consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) context. All the data is recorded using high fidelity microphone directly on PRAAT software. And the analysis is carried out using PRAAT software package (Boersma, 2012). A statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) is used for statistical analysis where possible. The analysis reveals that Hindko oral vowels have a phonemic durational contrast and with the help of formant features classified as front, central and back vowels. In addition to this, the study offormants also determines the acoustic space as the short vowels cover less space than the long ones.
