Summary/Abstract: Three Western-Siberian Tartar dialects (Tobol-Irtysh, Tom and Baraba) have been studied by the magnetic-resonance imaging technique, the results of this investigation are presented and discussed. The pharyngealizaton functions in all the dialects but has a different status: in Baraba-Tartar it is the main constitutive-differential feature of the consonantal system, in the Tom dialect it is a variant of pronunciation; in the Tobol sub- dialect its status is not clear. The presence of pharyngealization in all Sberian-Tartar dialects proves their close relation to other Southern-Siberian Turkic languages.
