  2. Retroflex stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroflex_stop

    A stop consonant that is made with the body of the tongue in contact with the hard palate is called a palatal stop. Retroflex stops are less common than velar stops or alveolar stops and do not occur in native English. They sound somewhat like the native English alveolar stops [t] and [d], but they have a more hollow

  3. Dental and alveolar ejective stops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_and_alveolar...

    The alveolar and dental ejective stops are types of consonantal sounds, usually described as voiceless, that are pronounced with a glottalic egressive airstream. In the International Phonetic Alphabet , ejectives are indicated with a "modifier letter apostrophe" ʼ , [ 1 ] as in this article.

  4. Grimm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimm's_law

    Voiceless stops are allophonically aspirated under most conditions. Voiced stops become unaspirated voiceless stops. All aspirated stops become fricatives. This sequence would lead to the same result. This variety of Grimm's law is often suggested in the context of Proto-Indo-European glottalic theory, which is followed by a minority of linguists.

  5. Voiceless dental and alveolar plosives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_and...

    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 .

  6. Lachmann's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachmann's_law

    According to Paul Kiparsky, [2] Lachmann's law is an example of a sound law that affects deep phonological structure, not the surface result of phonological rules. In Proto-Indo-European, a voiced stop was already pronounced as voiceless before voiceless stops, as the assimilation by voicedness must have been operational in PIE (*h₂eǵtos → *h₂eḱtos 'forced, made').

  7. Alveolar stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_stop

    The 2-D finite element mode of the front part of the midsagittal tongue can stimulate the air pressed release of an alveolar stop. [4] Alveolar consonants in children's productions have generally been demonstrated to undergo smaller vowel-related coarticulatory effects than labial and velar consonants, thus yielding consonant-specific patterns ...

  8. Voiced dental and alveolar plosives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_and_alveolar...

    The voiced alveolar, dental and postalveolar plosives (or stops) are types of consonantal sounds used in many spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiced dental, alveolar, and postalveolar plosives is d (although the symbol d̪ can be used to distinguish the dental plosive, and d̠ the postalveolar), and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is d.

  9. Ejective consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejective_consonant

    In some contexts and in some languages, they are easy to mistake for tenuis or even voiced stops. [2] These weakly ejective articulations are sometimes called intermediates in older American linguistic literature and are notated with different phonetic symbols: C! = strongly ejective, Cʼ = weakly ejective.
