The attested voiceless implosive stops are: voiceless bilabial implosive [ɓ̥] or [ƥ] voiceless alveolar implosive [ɗ̥ ] or [ƭ] voiceless retroflex implosive [ᶑ̥ ] or [𝼉] voiceless palatal implosive [ʄ̥ ] or [ƈ ] voiceless velar implosive [ɠ̊ ] or [ƙ] (may be paraphonemic in English) voiceless uvular implosive [ʛ̥ ] or [ʠ ...
Glottal ingressive is the term generally applied to the implosive consonants, which actually use a mixed glottalic ingressive–pulmonic egressive airstream. True glottalic ingressives are quite rare and are called "voiceless implosives" or "reverse ejectives".
Features of the voiceless alveolar implosive: Its manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive.
A voiceless retroflex implosive is an extremely rare consonantal sound, used in very few spoken languages. There is no official symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound, but ᶑ̊ or ʈʼ↓ may be used, or the old convention 𝼉 ( ƭ̢ ).
There are several problems with the traditional reconstruction. Firstly, the rarity of *b is odd from a typological point of view. If a single voiced stop is missing from a phoneme inventory (a 'gap'), it would normally be /ɡ/ that is missing (examples including Dutch, Ukrainian, Arabic, Thai, and Vietnamese); on the other hand, if a labial stop is missing, the voiceless /p/ is the most ...
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.
Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
