The voiceless retroflex sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is t̠͡ʂ , sometimes simplified to tʂ or ꭧ , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is ts`.
The voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate or voiceless domed postalveolar sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages.The sound is transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet with t͡ʃ , t͜ʃ tʃ (formerly the ligature ʧ ), or, in broad transcription, c .
A voiced alveolar affricate is a type of affricate consonant pronounced with the tip or blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge (gum line) just behind the teeth. This refers to a class of sounds, not a single sound.
Features of the voiceless alveolar lateral affricate: Its manner of articulation is affricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
The fricative component is apical. Only restricted to morpheme boundaries, some linguistics do not consider it a phoneme (but a sequence of [t] + [s]). Long and short versions of intervocalic affricates are in free variation in Central Catalan [tsː] ~ [ts]. See Catalan phonology: Central Alaskan Yup'ik [28] cetaman [t͡səˈtaman] 'four'
Allophone of /t͡ʃ/ before voiced obstruents in native words. As a phoneme present only in loanwords. See Slovene phonology: Somali: joog [d͡ʒoːɡ] 'stop' See Somali phonology: Tagalog: diyan [d͡ʒän] 'there' Used to pronounce the multigraphs dy and diy in native words and j in loanwords outside Spanish.
Affricates may also be a strategy to increase the phonetic contrast between aspirated or ejective and tenuis consonants. According to Kehrein (2002) , no language contrasts a non-sibilant, non-lateral affricate with a stop at the same place of articulation and with the same phonation and airstream mechanism, such as /t̪/ and /t̪θ/ or /k/ and ...
The voiceless velar affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.The symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound are k͡x and k͜x , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is k_x.
