This chapter provides a comprehensive review of phonetic research on Formosan languages. Some phonetic generalizations are drawn, including ones about the effect of inventory size of vowels on their dispersion, the influence of speakers’ characteristics and adjacent consonants on vowel realization, and interactions between syllable structure and fundamental frequency correlates of word-level prominence. Gaps in the literature are addressed with exploratory acoustic analyses using data extracted from the online dictionaries of Indigenous languages.
