Some Tyvans had remained part of Russia following the fall of Dzungaria,е.g. the Tofalar of thе lrkutsk region (Mеl.nikova 1994) and Tyvans оf southernAlиyskiy Krау.Todaу thе lаnguageof thе Тofаlаr is moribund, spokеn only by the older genеrations,having bеen replaсеd by Russian as the native languagefor the youngeгgenеrations(Rassadin1995).

Маny notеd early Soviet linguists took part in this proсess, inсluding N' N. Poppe' N. F. Jаkovlev, Е. D. Polivanov, and A. М. Suxotin. Thеrе was also an attemptby Buddhist lamаs (inсl. Mongush Lopsan.Chinmit) during this early рriod to usе a writtеnform of Tyvan with a lяtin-basеd alphabеt.In reаlity, none of thеse wеrе widеly known or usеd by thе сommon рople (Sat 1973).

'. Called kargira vowe|s in the TyvanJanguage linguistiс liteгature, namеd for a style of throat-singing that involves very low рitсh or сreakУ voiсе. This сharaсtегistiс fеature of Тyvan is geneгally asсribed to influenсe from a Yeniseian substratum (Biсheldei l980а' l980b' 1986' Maгtan.ool 1986, Verner 1972). Aссording to Biсheldej (l99з), somЬ 19,000 words in Tyvan have a low pitсh or kаrgita vowel in the first syllable. This is сertainly a gross overestimate. only a fеw words with a сontrast оf plain vs. low pitch are marked overtly in Tyvan orthogгаphy (using ъ following thе vowel): эът'mеat' (сf. эт .possession.), aът 'horse'(сf. aт .name');oът'grass' (сf. oт 'fire')кaът .row, floor.

Note that kаrgtrа vowels аppear in Мongolian аnd Russian loans, where the presenсe of a stгong сonsonant(p' t' s' s' x, and voiсеd vaгiants thereoO in final.position of a mоnosyllаbiс word, or in medial position in bisyllabiс words, may triggеr the use of a kаrgirа vowe|. Мongolian loans date from thе early l3th сentury on.tй. beginning of intЬnse Moпgolian.iyvan сontaсts: bc& .strong,, mёgе ,|ie, deсeption', dmdаn 'taste of food', ёdlgаа '|azу, laziness'. Russian loans arе divided into those from pre.l930 (l) and those fгom posьl930 (I|), kаrgira vowels are found in both tурes: |.> diga.arс(h); shafьbow,' slipik'boot', mёdаal .medal'; II.> vdtааtiу'leader, guide'.

Low pitсh is lexiсally determinedаnd apрars in a relativеlyсlosed сlass of words. Thesearе mostly monosyllabiсnominal гoots:аal ,horse' qlat.flooг' crir?k.freight'. ouг aсoustiсanalysis shows'thatwhеn low pitсh vowels аpрar in monosyllabiс woгds, thеy pаttemvith long.vowels.with lespеct to duration.In suсh сonteхtslow pitсh typiсalty iЪ rеa|ize$o1'lyon thе.first half of thе vowel.

Howеvеr, Tyvan laсks a true tone system, and thesе vowels are bеst dеsсгibеdas having a suprasеgmеntal fеafure(e.g. low'pitсh) assoсiatеd with the first trаlf(or mora). For low pitсh vowels iп monosyllables,we Ъdoptа phonetiс notatiоn(in this seсtion)whiсh showsthesevowеls are long but with low pirch only in the first half: iiаl .horse' ё:iаs .rain' ёer .mеat' dof .gгass'.

In thе speeсh of mаny younger' native.boгn Kyzyl residents, thе lоw pitсh vs. modal pitch distinсtion is often neutralized in infleсted forms, evеn in сlosеd syllablеs where one fiids a сontгast in the speесh of older геsidents and recent immigrants, e.g. liаt 'hoгse' vs. (adrnt horse.l .my hotse,) аtkа horse-DAT, аttаn horcоАBL 'from the horse'; аlso biirt 'cap' > meeq bсiryiim'my саp', seeq bdrgtit1 .your сap' (14 уear old girl, native born), etc. vs. zir, dtkа,dttаn,ddifi (8.7yearoldwoman);butnotealso dtkа'tothehorse',аdim 'my horse'(59 yеar old woman, nativе born).
