По някои въпроси на българския вокализъм и вокализма на езика дари в Афганистан

The paper contains some information about the language situation in Afghanistan and the role of the Dari language in the country. A description of the vowel phonemes of Dari is given according to bibliographical sources and some attention is paid to the differences of opinion with respect to the number and quality of these vowels. On the basis of a short phonological characterization of the Bulgarian vowel system an attempt is made to compare the two systems. Possible reasons for deviations from the Bulgarian norm in the perception and production of Bulgarian vowels by Afghan students learning Bulgarian in a mother-tongue environment are given.
