H-dropping or aitch-dropping is the deletion of the voiceless glottal fricative or "H-sound", [h]. The phenomenon is common in many dialects of English , and is also found in certain other languages, either as a purely historical development or as a contemporary difference between dialects.
In some consonant clusters, glottal replacement of /t/ is common even among RP speakers. Geordie English has a unique form of glottalization involving glottal reinforcement of t, k, and p, for example in "matter", "lucky", and "happy". T, k, p sounds between vowels are pronounced simultaneously with a glottal stop represented in IPA as p͡ʔ ...
In both RP and GA, /t/-replacement is found in absolute final position: let's start [lɛʔ stɑː(ɹ)ʔ] what [wɒʔ] or [wɐʔ] foot [fʊʔ] T-glottalization is believed to have been spreading in Southern England at a faster rate than th-fronting [citation needed].
The [t] sound is a very common sound cross-linguistically. [1] Most languages have at least a plain [t], and some distinguish more than one variety. Some languages without a [t] are colloquial Samoan (which also lacks an [n]), Abau, and Nǁng of South Africa. [citation needed]
Flapping or tapping, also known as alveolar flapping, intervocalic flapping, or t-voicing, is a phonological process involving a voiced alveolar tap or flap; it is found in many varieties of English, especially North American, Cardiff, Ulster, Australian and New Zealand English, where the voiceless alveolar stop consonant phoneme /t/ is pronounced as a voiced alveolar flap [ɾ], a sound ...
Especially in the South Sulawesi branch, most languages have turned word-final *t and *k into a glottal stop. [7] In every Gorontalic language except Buol and Kaidipang, *k was replaced by a glottal stop, and lost altogether in word-initial position: *kayu → Gorontalo ayu ' wood ', *konuku → olu'u ' fingernail '.
Intervocalic allophone of /t/. In free variation with [ʔ ~ tʰ ~ tˢ]. See Flapping: Australian [8] [ˈbeɾɐ] Intervocalic allophone of /t/ and /d/. See Australian English phonology, New Zealand English phonology and Flapping: New Zealand [9] Dublin [10] [ˈbɛɾɚ] ⓘ Intervocalic allophone of /t/ and /d/, present in many dialects.
Nasal clicks are click consonants pronounced with nasal airflow.All click types (alveolar ǃ, dental ǀ, lateral ǁ, palatal ǂ, retroflex ‼, and labial ʘ) have nasal variants, and these are attested in four or five phonations: voiced, voiceless, aspirated, murmured (breathy voiced), and—in the analysis of Miller (2011)—glottalized.
