ABSTRACT
Contrastive analysis is a linguistic enterprise aimed at producing inverted (i.e contrastive not comparative) two-valued typologies (a contrastive analysis is always concerned with a pair of languages), and founded on the assumption that languages can be compared (James,1980). This research is an effort to describe the similarities and differences between the sound systems of Hausa and Igbo with respect to their production and quality. The proposed areas of contrast include the consonant and vowel phonemes of the two languages.
