Raymond T. Butlin · Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies · 1936
It is proposed here to offer some considerations on the representationof certain Malayalam 1 sounds. It is not the purpose of these notes to present a detailed laboratory account of the acoustic and physiological phenomena to be symbolized, but while characterizing these phenomena sufficiently for the reader to appreciate their general nature, rather to consider certain specific phonetic circumstances of their occurrence and the significance of these in the elaboration of anotational system.
