Abstract: The paper deals with the dominant characteristics of the articulatory-acoustic base of the Teleuts in the field of consonantism. The study is based on instrumental data obtained by the Magnetic Resonance Imaging method. Somatic parameters of the frontlingual consonant articulations are analyzed in the word forms of the language of the modern Teleuts and then compared with the respective descriptions of the Teleut settings made in the 1970s on the basis of data obtained by hardware methods (static Radiography, Dento-palatography, and Pneumooscillography). The results obtained allowed identifying actively developing systemic changes in the sound systems of languages Teleuts and Telengits: increased articulatory tension, the formation of additional settings of labialization and pharyngealization, no nasalization. The reasons for the similarities and differences between articulatory bases of Teleuts and Telengits should be found in the historical past of the ethnic groups descended from ancient Turkic tribes tele and forming a unified body of Turkic-speaking community until the beginning of the 17th century.
