The following is the chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet, a standardized system of phonetic symbols devised and maintained by the International Phonetic Association. It is not a complete list of all possible speech sounds in the world's languages, only those about which stand-alone articles exist in this encyclopedia.
The voiceless denti-alveolar sibilant is the only sibilant fricative in some dialects of Andalusian Spanish. It has no official symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet , though its features would be transcribed s̻̪ or s̪̻ (using the ̻ , the diacritic marking a laminal consonant , and ̪ , the diacritic marking a dental consonant ).
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ç , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is C. It is the non-sibilant equivalent of the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative. The symbol ç is the letter c with a cedilla ( ̧), as used to spell French and Portuguese words such as façade and ação.
The voiceless alveolar lateral fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiceless dental , alveolar , and postalveolar lateral fricatives is [ɬ] , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is K .
The voiceless alveolar, dental and postalveolar plosives (or stops) are types of consonantal sounds used in almost all spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiceless dental , alveolar , and postalveolar plosives is t , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is t .
