<p class="MsoNormal">Hello there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know something about variation and change in breathy vowels in Gujarati, or can someone recommend relevant references? I presented an example of a minimal pair in my linguistics class today from this website -
<a href="https://www.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/studium/skripten/languagedemos/Demos/gujarati.html">
https://www.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/studium/skripten/languagedemos/Demos/gujarati.html</a> - and a student who is a Gujarati speaker suggested it was incorrect (she definitely produced the words shown here with modal vowels and an intervocalic h instead, which
is supposed to be an older pronunciation). <o:p></o:p></p>
