The UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (or UPSID) is a statistical survey of the phoneme inventories in 451 of the world's languages. The database was created by American phonetician Ian Maddieson for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1984 and has been updated several times.
In the early 1980's, Ian Maddieson developed the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID), a computer-accessible database of contrastive segment inventories (Maddieson 1984).

The UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database. Data on the phonological systems of 451 languages, with programs to access it, by Ian Maddieson and Kristin Precoda. This is an elderly DOS program (and thus Windows only), neither of whose developers are still at UCLA, and no support is offered.
Apr 21, 2009 · Welcome to the UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive. For over half a century, the UCLA Phonetics Laboratory has collected recordings of hundreds of languages from around the world, providing source materials for phonetic and phonological research, of value to scholars, speakers of the languages, and language learners alike. The materials on this site comprise audio recordings illustrating phonetic ...
User interface to the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID) compiled by Ian Maddieson and Kristin Precoda. You can search for sound segments and segment frequency in 451 languages.
The most frequent segment in UPSID is the bilabial nasal /m/, which occurs in 425 languages and hence its segment frequency is 94.2%. There are 919 different segments in the database and the of all frequencies is rather long. The 20 most frequent consonants and the 10 most frequent vowels are: That is, the group of sounds that appear in 10 or ...
