This paper examines how Kyungsang speakers utilize acoustic cues to identify the word-initial oral and nasal stops using acoustically-manipulated stimuli in the perception test. The results show that F0 is a major acoustic cue for distinguishing between nasal and tense stops and between lax and aspirated stops and that VOT is a major cue for identifying tense stops but not for lax or aspirated stops. 92% of nasals are correctly identified even without their consonantal nasal portion and 98% of nasals are perceived as tense stops only from raising F0 of the following vowel. The results are consistent with Ahn(2019)’s study on Seoul speakers.
