The fundamental frequency F0 patterns of Chinese were compared with that of English, Japanese, and German at both macro (passage) and micro (fundamental period) levels by using a Laryngograph in this paper. 14 Chinese and 14 foreigners were selected as speakers. The results show that: 1 .The 90% pitch range of Chinese is somewhat larger than that of other languages studied in Hz but it is near the same for all languages in relative scale logF0, 2. The average signed jitter factor in connected speech is neariy the same, about 3.2%, for both male and female speakers and for dif ferent languages studied; 3. The (-)jitter facior is highcr than (+) jitter factor in connected speech; 4. The rate of F0 fluctuation (peak and valley) for Chinese is higher than that for English; 5.The speech rated in syllables per second of Chinese speakers is lower than that of foreign speakers.
