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. Bibliography. Maddieson, Ian. (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.
The Phonetics Lab has copies of several kinds of physiology recordings/data. (1) In the Audio Lab (room B) filing drawers is the database compiled by Sarah Dart and described in Working Papers #66 (1987): xerox copies of all the Xray traces she could find in the literature, except for those from books already owned by Peter Ladefoged.
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 ...
Mar 17, 2009 · Abstract. The nature of speech sound inventories has been a focus of study by phonologists and phoneticians, facilitated in 1984 with the publication by Ian Maddieson of the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database. This article gives an overview of the study of inventories and summarizes some of the major findings.
Aug 4, 2010 · This index is arranged according to the phonetic classification of the segments, and includes the number of languages with each given segment type and a list of the languages in which it occurs. The phoneme charts and segment index make available to other users the basic data of UPSID. With these tools, much of the information in the database ...
