Résumé

This paper focuses on the phonology and phonetics of a voiced pharyngeal approximant. While the Tigrinya pharyngeal is like pharyngeals in other language families in which they occur (Afro-Asiatic, Caucasian, and Salishan) in their effect on vowel formants, they differ in that they are realized as a break in the formant patterns of an adjacent vowel segment. Tigrinya is a South Semitic language spoken in Eritrea
