| The phonetic documentation of Indigenous languages often lags behind the lexical and grammatical documentation, in both quantity and quality. Thus, even among the small number of relatively well-documented Indigenous languages, key questions about articulatory strategies, acoustic cues to phoneme discrimination, and the overall structure of the prosodic system are often left unanswered. This is the result of several different factors, including the training given to documentary linguists, and the practical challenges of doing various types of phonetic analysis on "messy" field recordings. | The phonetic documentation of Indigenous languages often lags behind the lexical and grammatical documentation, in both quantity and quality.
