The article discusses the influence of aspiration on vowel duration in Maithili. Vowel and vowel duration are measured and presented in two tables. The article concludes that Maithili vowels preceding voiced non-aspirated consonants are longer in duration than vowels preceding voiceless non-aspirated consonants. The features of voice and aspiration do lend an increment of length to the preceding vowel in Maithili. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-01-18)
