  2. Czech phonology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_phonology

    Alternations of hard and soft consonants represent the most abundant type. They occur regularly in word-stem final consonants before certain suffixes (in derivations) and endings (in inflections). Hard consonants are softened if followed by soft /ɛ/ (written e/ě ), /ɪ/, or /iː/ (written i and í , not y and ý ).

  3. Trill consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trill_consonant

    The Czech language has two contrastive alveolar trills, one a fricative trill (written ř in the orthography). In the fricative trill the tongue is raised, so that there is audible frication during the trill, sounding a little like a simultaneous [r] and [ʐ] (or [r̥] and [ʂ] when devoiced).

  4. Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills - Wikipedia

    In Czech, there are two contrasting alveolar trills. Besides the typical apical trill, written r, there is another laminal trill, written ř, in words such as rybáři [ˈrɪbaːr̝ɪ] 'fishermen' and the common surname Dvořák. Its manner of articulation is similar to [r] but is laminal and the body of the tongue is raised.

  5. Ř - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ř

    In the Czech language ř is used to denote /r̝/, a raised alveolar non-sonorant trill. Its manner of articulation is similar to other alveolar trills but the tongue is raised; it is partially fricative. It is usually voiced, [r̝], but it also has a voiceless allophone [r̝̊] occurring in the vicinity of voiceless consonants or at the end of ...

  8. Relative articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_articulation

    Czech, on the other hand, requires the opposite: Its fricated trill, which is a separate phoneme, may be transcribed as a raised trill, [r̝]. Similarly, the non-sibilant coronal fricative is written [ɹ̝], and the voiceless velar lateral fricative as [ʟ̝̊].

  9. Rhotic consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotic_consonant

    Rare kinds of trills include Czech ř [r̝] (fricative trill) and Welsh rh [r̥] (voiceless trill). The uvular trill is another kind of rhotic trill; see below for more. Tap or flap (these terms describe very similar articulations): Similar to a trill, but involving just one brief interruption of airflow. In many languages flaps are used as ...
