This article offers a phonological comparison of the distribution of vowels in Akha and Hani in closed and open syllables. A selected dialect of Hani from China is compared to Akha dialects from Burma and Thailand. The author describes and illustrates the behaviour of vowels in initial and final postions and in closed and open syllables. She also discusses tone differences such as in tone sandhi. The article provides an appendix with various examples for each vowel. This paper was presented in the Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area (LTBA), 1982, pp. 63-115.
