Phonetics often involves modern technology to analyse speech, providing evidence for linguists on the nature of spoken language. This spectrogram as used in acoustic phonetics shows the frequencies of vibrations involved in the production of six British English vowels by an adult male native speaker: from left to right, the vowels as in bee, sue, herd, or, bar and buy. The bands of energy (formants) are distinctive for each vowel; for example, the lower the bottom formant ('F1'), the higher the vowel is articulated in the mouth. The greater the distance between F1 and the second-lowest 'F2' formant correlates with how far back in the mouth the vowel is produced. This image was created using the Praat freeware program.

Newer streets signs in parts of western Scotland display names in Scottish Gaelic above English - older signs are in English only. The promotion or proscription of languages is called language planning and is one topic studied in sociolinguistics.
