Abstract

Kannada alphabet letters were partially exposed to be predicted by 31 subjects. The confusions found were systematic. A list of Distinctive Features
was drawn based on a confusion Matrix. In a sorting task of various CV and CCV letters it was found that even people unfamiliar to, could perceive
the minimal pairs of the vowel allographs. The allographs can also be reduced to various distinctive features.
