Among languages of Africa, Igbo is considered in the literature to give a model instance of vowel harmony based on the [ATR] feature. A record of the regular and the irregular examples are exhibited here, guided via autosegmental phonology. Along these lines, the present examination looks at vowel harmony and disharmony in Igbo on the premise of a corpus of exact information drawn from noncontiguous provincial dialects. The reason is to present empirical data to demonstrate the conventional depictions made on the basis of the standard Igbo. It likewise demonstrates that exemptions are noticeable, as instances of disharmony, which have not gotten satisfactory consideration in the writing, and would like to attract regard for them by concentrating on them. Inclining toward the autosegmental phonology for this record is down to earth as the hypothesis all the more exquisitely represents the inside constituents of the CV skeleton and the relative autonomy of a V-put as against a C-put, essential to the operation of vowel harmony. More than one vowel is observed to be opaque over the dialects, however share regular formal portrayal.
