Abstract
The goal of the paper is to carry out a contrastive analysis of the consonant systems in the South-Siberian Turkic languages. The paper presents a contrastive study of the consonant systems in the languages in question and examines integrating and differentiating parameters of articulatory-acoustic bases. It is shown that the languages under investigation have different noise consonant inventories which are characterized by a specific system organization. Above all, these differences concern the phonemes which are treated as long units in Altai, Kumandy, Chalkan, Tuba, Sagai (Nizhne-Tyoj subdialect), as strong (fortis) consonants in Tuvin, as ajective-injective consonants in Shor, and as pharyngealized phonemes in Baraba Tatar. The Shor consonant system is organized on a trichotomy principle, other systems are dichotomic ones.
