Creakyvoiced
Creakyvoiced refers to a phonation type in which the vocal folds vibrate slowly and irregularly, producing a low-pitched, raspy quality. It can occur as a habitual feature of speech or function as a phonemic or allophonic voice quality in some languages and dialects. In everyday speech, creakyvoiced segments are often described as creaky or fry-sounding and may resemble a sequence of irregular pulses rather than smooth periodic vibration.
Physiology and acoustics: creakyvoiced is produced by reduced tension of the vocal folds, partial glottal closure,
Linguistic relevance: creakyvoiced can appear on vowels and, in some languages, contrast with modal or breathy
Perception and study: researchers in phonetics and sociolinguistics study creakyvoiced to understand articulatory mechanisms, acoustic properties,
