This research is an investigative study of a descriptive, comparative and interpretive nature under the auspices of the Historical Linguistics. This study presents the analysis of the vocalization of postvocalic /l/ and /r/ in speech community of Jaraguá, located in the midwest of Goiás, Brazil. In the process of vocalization, the /l/ is replaced by [y] and /r/, whose analyzed variant is [ö], with [y] and [w], providing falling diphthongs (vowel + semivowel). The postvocalic vocalization occurs in CVC and CV syllables within words, for example, salgada > saygada, alma > ayma, garfo > gayfu ~ gawfu; at the end of words the process of erasure or resyllabication predominated, as in enxoval > inxovali ~ inxová, cobertor > cubeytori ~ cubeytô. The sample group consists of 17 speakers (male and female) above 65 years old, born near the town, or people that have lived for more than 50 years in the place, with little or no level of literacy. We applied the technique of data collection based on the methodological assumptions of Ethnography, adopting a semi-structured interview. The themes of the interviews were directed to narratives and dialogues about family, childhood, migration, religious, cultural and professional activities, and especially about history and the beginning of the locality. The focus is primarily phonological, so it is used the terminology of this area of Linguistics. The theoretical section presents the main theories and methods of Historical Linguistics from the perspectives of Paixão de Sousa (2005-2009), Silva (1973), Coutinho (1975), Campbell (2004), Maurer Jr. (1951), Faraco (2005), Callou e Leite (1993) and Ladefoged e Maddieson (1996). The discussion and presentation of the Brazilian Portuguese Language and its structural system is based on theorists such as Ilari (1990), Ilari e Basso (2006), Mattos e Silva (2004), Camara Jr. ([1970] 2008a - [1953] 2008b), Amaral (1976), Jakobson (1967) and others. Theoretically, the process of postvocalic vocalization is shown and discussed on the perspectives by Camara Jr. ([1953] 2008a - [1970] 2008b), Coutinho (1975), Elia (1979), Silva (2008), Melo (1981), Moura (1993), Vieira (1983), Silva Neto (1988) among others. Given these theoretical and methodological assumptions, it is considered, in the analysis of data, the synchronic and diachronic criteria of postvocalic vocalization, in the intralinguistic perspective. In a diachronic point of view, we observe the evolution from Latin to Portuguese, and from the synchronic point of view, the occurrences of the speech community of Jaraguá, comparing them to recent studies from other regions of the country.
