          Abstract

          Resumen Esta investigación presenta una descripción acústica de los sonidos consonánticos del yagua, una lengua aislada perteneciente a la familia peba-yagua y que se habla en la región nororiental del Perú. El número de personas que componen la sociedad yagua actual asciende a aproximadamente 5679. La población se distribuye principalmente en las provincias de Mariscal Ramón Castilla, Putumayo y Maynas, en el departamento de Loreto, principalmente en las zonas fronterizas con Colombia y Brasil. El objetivo de este estudio es establecer el número de consonantes de la lengua yagua y detallar sus propiedades acústicas. Sobre la base de la fonética acústica y tras un acuerdo con los colaboradores yagua a fin de realizarles entrevistas para obtener estos datos necesarios para la investigación, se elicitó un conjunto de 200 palabras a 9 colaboradores de las comunidades del río Amazonas. Posteriormente, se realizó el procesamiento de las grabaciones a través del programa informático Praat, que permitió reconocer las características acústicas de los sonidos de esta lengua. Entre los resultados más resaltantes, se ha podido determinar la existencia de 20 sonidos consonánticos en yagua: [ p ], [pw], [t], [k], [m], [mw], [mb], [n], [ɲ], [nd], [t͡ʃ], [s], [ʃ], [r], [ɾ], [ɽ], [w], [β], [j] y [h].

          Abstract This research presents an acoustic description of the consonant sounds of the yagua language, an isolated language belonging to the Peba-yagua family which is spoken in the northeastern region of Peru. The number of people in the current yagua society amounts to approximately 5,679. The population is distributed mainly in the provinces of Mariscal Ramón Castilla, Putumayo, and Maynas in the department of Loreto, mainly in the border areas with Colombia and Brazil. The objective of this study was to establish the number of consonants in the Yagua language and detail their acoustic properties. On the basis of acoustic phonetics and after an agreement with the Yagua collaborators to carry out interviews to them in order to obtain this data for the investigation, a set of 200 words was elicited from 9 speakers from the Amazon River communities. Subsequently, the recordings were processed using the Praat computer program, which made it possible to recognize the acoustic characteristics of the sounds of the Yagua language. Among the most noteworthy results, it has been possible to determine the existence of 20 consonant sounds in the Yagua language: [ p ], [pw], [t], [k], [m], [mw], [mb], [n], [ɲ], [nd], [t͡ʃ], [s], [ʃ], [r], [ɾ], [ɽ], [w], [β], [j] and [h]
