'Devoiced' vowels?

[edit]

The article says that final vowels are often 'devoiced'; as far as I understand devoicing it can only apply to consonants, and in the example given the final vowel is lost while the previous consonant is indeed devoiced. I assume this is a mistake?

Devoicing affects vowels as well. (English police.) But your description may be more accurate in this case. Could use a ref either way. — kwami (talk) 19:23, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
