A well known language with faucalized voice is [[Korean language|Korean]], with its "tense" consonants. The entire vocal tract is tense, and the occlusion lasts longer than other consonants. For this reason they are often called ''[[fortis (phonetics)|fortis]]''. There also appears to be elements of [[stiff voice]] in the Korean consonants, though faucalized voice is not yet well enough described to know how common this is. |
