This article deals with the acoustical and perceptual importance of F₀ perturbations in word-initial breathy CV syllables of Hindi. The first part is devoted to the acoustical analysis of F₀ onset, F₀ trajectory, average F₀ of the breathy and steady portion, and duration of the breathy portion. It is concluded from the results that (i) F₀ perturbations are a function of the place of articulation of the stop and/or tongue height and/or tongue position of the vowel; (ii) F₀ onset reflects the larynx height and/or the activity of extrinsic larynx muscles, and (iii) the F₀ trajectory represents the coarticulatory processes within the syllable. The importance of F₀ onset, F₀ trajectory, average F₀, and duration of the breathy portion for the perception of breathy stops is examined in the second part of this study. It is shown, for 8 CV conditions /É–&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;a É–&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;e É–&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;i É–&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;o É–&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;u b&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;i d&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;i g&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt;i/ that F₀ onset, F₀ trajectory, and the duration of the breathy portion play an important role in the perception of breathy CV syllables in Hindi.
