If you study phonology, surely the terms vowel and consonant are familiar to you.
If you study phonology, vowels and consonants are definitely not foreign to you. In vowels, there
are many requirements and ways to sound vowel sounds, as well as consonant sounds. Each part
(vowel and consonant) has its own criteria for sounding. If vowels are sounded based on the
height and low of the tongue, the horizontal position of the tongue and the degree of roundness
of the lips, then consonants are sounded by knowing the place, method and using the sound or
not. All of the above cannot be separated from phonology.

In this article, the writer want to explain the use of a voiced velar fricative sounds in the Were
people's daily conversation. before discussing further, what is a voiced velar fricative sound? The

This research aims to examine the vocabulary used by the people of Were village, a
village in South Golewa sub-district, Ngada district, NTT province, which uses
voiced velar fricatives. In phonology, voiced velar fricatives are a consonant sound.
Meanwhile, in Indonesia itself, voiced velar fricatives are very rarely found in
everyday conversation, especially in refined spelling. This research is facultative in
nature where all data is taken directly from the results of an interview with a native
Bajawa language speaker. Based on the results of interviews, researchers found
quite a lot of vocabulary that uses voiced velar fricatives, for example; ghali,
ghamo, ghara, ghase, kagho, pagho, ghedhe, ghole, gha'o, maghi, magha, ghela,
ghoma, ghale and dhegha. With this research, the author wants to increase readers'
insight into the sound of voiced velar fricatives, which are very rarely used.

Phonology is a branch of linguistics that investigates how speech sounds are used systematically
to form words and utterances (Katamba 1989: 60).
The study of phonology began centuries ago and the results of this research are what humans use
to share information. One of the results of research on phonology is IPA or what is known as the
international phonetic alphabet. IPA is divided into two parts, namely consonants and vowels.
Each consonant and vowel has a procedure for naming and sounding it and from completing it
we learn about the diversity of languages in the world.

The world has various countries that have their own characteristics in speaking. This
distinctiveness can be found in the way people speak, such as: Korean people speak Korean,
Chinese people speak Mandarin and many more characteristics of these countries in speaking.
However, for all its uniqueness, not all sounds are used in everyday conversation. For example,
Indonesian people feel unfamiliar with the voiced velar fricative sound but people who use
Swahili use it in everyday conversation.

The velar fricative sound is a unique sound because it is rarely used in most countries. In
Indonesia, it is very rare to find voiced velar fricative sounds in everyday conversation.
However, there are several regions in Indonesia that have words using this sound, especially the
one that is of interest in this article is the Flores region. People from the island of Flores are not
unfamiliar with this sound because they use it in everyday regional language conversations.
Therefore, the author feels that the voiced velar fricative sound in Indonesia needs to be studied
in more depth to increase knowledge about the voiced velar fricative sound.
The author have interviewed 3 sources who told the same data. The author first asked the
resource person to speak Bajawa language and when heard the voiced velar fricative sound, the
author asked the resource person to explain the meaning of the word. After getting all the data
needed, the author then started analyzing it. The data analysis process also uses qualitative
methods, namely by arranging the words in a table and then begins to arrange the phonetic letters
and the meaning of each word.
