The comparisons between the formants values in French and Romanian

The paper is focused on the formants F1 and F2 values for the French and Romanian language in order to notice the similarities between the languages. We are studying the formants position in both languages. The analysis was made on the PFC corpus for French by M. Goudbeek, J.Ph. Goldman, K.R. Scherer and on SRoL corpus for Romanian language by the author in the team at the initiative and the guidance of the professor H.N. Teodorescu.
