Compared to the amount of research on Gujarati consonants, few studies indeed have been done to analyse Gujarati vowels. In addition, the results of recent studies are mixed. This study was conducted for reviewing the Gujarati vowel system. In this study, we measured the formant frequencies of eight Gujarati vowels by three dialect female speakers of native Gujarati’s in their early 30s, and compared the results with those of two Gujarati males in their early 30s. We confirmed overlapped /i, î/, /u, u/ and /a, a/ formant frequencies uttered by female speakers, this was also the result of male speakers. These findings were similar to the results in the previous studies. Additionally vowel spaces of males have corresponded to the results indicated in previous studies. However the vowel spaces of females were different from the results of previous studies.
