Agul is phonetically interesting because it contrasts voiced and voiceless pharyngeal
fricatives with voiceless epiglottal stops and fricatives. These contrasts are
demonstrated here in word-final and intervocalic position.
The recordings of one female speaker of the Burkixan dialect were made by
the Russian linguist S. Kodzasov but due to better audio quality, the examples
below are taken from the original SoWL demo. The phoneme /ä/ is taken directly
from Kodzasov's notes and is used to denote a slightly fronted vowel.
