| Yucatec Maya is glottalized in some consonants, tonal in certain vowels, and uses glottal stops. |
| We also find that the pharyngeals involve an even longer articulatory sequence than glottalized consonants. |
| From the historical point of view, they are either Arabic-like or, much less likely, glottalized, as in the Ethio-Semitic and Cushitic languages. |
| Initial glottalized sonorants are typically but not invariably pre-glottalized. |
| A point of interest is that the majority of wordfinal vowels in Maanyan are glottalized. |
| In German, an abrupt glottalized onset to phonation is frequent in front of word-initial vowels. |
