DESCRIPTION:This presentation reports on an exploratory acoustic investig
 ation of stressed vowels in Batsbi (Tsova-Tush)\, an endangered Nakh lan
 guage spoken in a single village in eastern Georgia. The data were colle
 cted during the Zemo Alvani Field Research Week (ZAFieR) in August 2026 
 and consist of elicited lexical items and sentence productions from thre
 e native speakers. Using measurements of vowel duration and the first tw
 o formants (F1 and F2)\, the study examines vowel realization across spe
 akers and contexts. As instrumental investigations of the Batsbi vowel s
 ystem remain scarce\, the project aims to provide a preliminary acoustic
  perspective on the language and establish a basis for future research.
