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).

UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive (raw data files not structured for teaching) (NOTE: These files have been digitized at very high sampling rates. It is often useful to downsample before acoustic analysis. See Henry for a Matlab routine to do this; or check out Praat scripts to do this.)
This site is a (hopefully) simple user interface to the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID). This Database was compiled by Ian Maddieson and Kristin Precoda (cf. Maddieson, 1984) and contains information on the distribution of 919 different segments in 451 languages.
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.
PHOIBLE is a database of phonological inventories and distinctive features, encompassing more than 1600 languages (and growing). PHOIBLE data is published in browsable form at PHOIBLE Online, which corresponds with the most recent year-numbered release of the development repository.
Apr 1, 2016 · This chapter provides an overview of the cross-linguistic distribution of phoneme inventories drawing on various typological databases. Results of a survey of phoneme frequency data within 34 languages suggest a parallel between cross-linguistic and intralanguage frequency. The distribution of phonemic length contrasts is also examined both ...
