Background and Objectives: The present study was carried out to investigate the effect ofvowel context on the recognition of Kannada consonants in quiet for young adults. Subjectsand Methods: A total of 17 young adults with normal hearing in both ears participatedin the study. The stimuli included consonant-vowel syllables, spoken by 12 native speakersof Kannada. Consonant recognition task was carried out as a closed-set (fourteen-alternativeforced-choice). Results: The present study showed an effect of vowel context on theperception of consonants. Maximum consonant recognition score was obtained in the /o/vowel context, followed by the /a/ and /u/ vowel contexts, and then the /e/ context. Poorestconsonant recognition score was obtained in the vowel context /i/. Conclusions: Vowel contexthas an effect on the recognition of Kannada consonants, and the vowel effect wasunique for Kannada consonants.
