| Citazioni | Vocal systems with five to ten vowels phoneme would be considered average: five corresponds to the Spanish system with three degrees of aperture and two series, ten to the Danish system with four degrees of aperture and three series (if the length distinction is disregarded), in both cases with one phoneme only (/a/) for the widest degree of aperture. |
