In Victorian Aboriginal languages (such as those in the Kulin language family), how are stop consonants typically characterized in contrast to English stop consonants?

They neutralize the contrast between voiced and voiceless stops (e.g., [b] and [p] are allophones of a single stop phoneme). They distinguish five distinct levels of contrastive voicing for every place of articulation. They operate exclusively as glottal stops across all word positions. They require heavy aspiration at the end of every final syllable.

Correct Answer:

They neutralize the contrast between voiced and voiceless stops (e.g., [b] and [p] are allophones of a single stop phoneme).
