Madurese is a language with a three-way laryngeal contrast and an unusual consonant-vowel co-occurrence restriction. We provide new data on the phonetic realisation of Madurese stops from asample of 15 native speakers by examining VOT, f0 and two acoustic correlates of voice quality, H1*-H2* and H1*-A3*. Our data indicate that while f0 distinguishes voiced from voiceless (aspirated and unaspirated) stops, at least one voice quality measure contrasts voiced and voiceless aspirated stops with voiceless unaspirated stops, suggesting that the relationship between these features may bemore complex than has previously been assumed.Madurese appears to be best described as ‘register system’ of the Mon-Khmer type, albeit one in which pitch and voice quality are dissociated
