Three groups of listeners, one with a /p,t,k/ stop system in the syllable coda (Dutch), one with /p,k,?/ (ChaoShan) and one with / p,t,k,?/ (ZhangQuan) were asked to identify the final C in CVC-stimuli as one of the consonants [p,t,k,?]. Identification was affected by the nature of the coda C and the V. The identification of the bilabial stop significantly increases after /i/, that of the velar stop after /-a/ and that of the alveolar stop after /u/.
