Summary/Abstract: The article describes results of the newly conducted processing and analisys of the archived audio recordings of the Chulym language, which were kept in the Laboratory of Experimental Phonetic Research in RAS Siberian Branch Institute of Philology. Chulym is now at the brink of extinction, and the 1970s records reflect a signficantly better level of language knowledge. The main phonetic qualities of Chulym have already been recorded, but two important ones were found. For the first time the intermittent and pharyngealized vocal settings were identified in the Chulym language. Also, the author finds different types of pharyngealization, such as the type of tone and the duration.
