Abstract
The article deals with articulatory parameters of consonant settings in the language of Teleuts – one of the South Siberian Turkic ethnic groups. The study is based on instrumental data obtained by magnetic resonance imaging nowadays (MRI). The results are compared with experimental phonetic materials, collected in the 1970s and are described in the works of K. V. Merkurev, allowed to show the tendency and dynamics of a phonetic changes in the language of Teleuts. The revealed systemic modifications of the articulatory-acoustic base of the teleuts, and above all the increased tension of settings, allow us to find similarities with the Telengitian language, for which weak articulations are not characteristic. As in the telengit language, in the Teleut anterolinguistic consonants undergo total labilization.
