We investigated the tonal systems of Wuming and Du’an Zhuang via a production study focusing on F0 and creaky phonation. Results revealed that (1) there is evidence of a phonation contrast among tones 2 and 4 in Wuming Zhuang and (2) no such phonation contrast exists in Du’an Zhuang, where F0 alone distinguishes each tone. The study utilized an objective measurement of psychoacoustic roughness as a proxy of creakiness, revealing the phonation contrast in Wuming Zhuang. In contrast, another method of creakiness detection, Covarep, did not reveal any such creakiness difference. Roughness and Covarep creakiness detection algorithms differ then, with roughness providing a more sensitive measure of creaky phonation in this case.
