Abstract

It was the purpose of this study to obtain nasalance values for Chinese and Korean based on Vowels. The NasalView was used to measure the amount of nasal acoustic energy in the speech of 96 normal adults from China and Korea. Means and standard deviations for the nasalance and deviation scores are presented for each of three different vowels. The Chinese speakers were found to have significantly higher nasalance scores on vowel /a/ and /u/.
