  2. Alveolar consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_consonant

    The alveolar or dental consonants [t] and [n] are, along with [k], the most common consonants in human languages. [6] Nonetheless, there are a few languages that lack them. A few languages on Bougainville Island and around Puget Sound , such as Makah , lack nasals and therefore [n] but have [t] .

  3. Place of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_of_articulation

    In articulatory phonetics, the place of articulation (also point of articulation) of a consonant is an approximate location along the vocal tract where its production occurs. [1]: 10 It is a point where a constriction is made between an active and a passive articulator. Active articulators are organs capable of voluntary movement which create ...

  5. Articulatory phonetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulatory_phonetics

    Alveolar consonants are made with the tip or blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge just behind the teeth and can similarly be apical or laminal. [17] Crosslinguistically, dental consonants and alveolar consonants are frequently contrasted leading to a number of generalizations of crosslinguistic patterns.

  6. Alveolo-palatal fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolo-palatal_fricative

    Alveolo-palatal fricatives are a class of consonants in some oral languages. The consonants are sibilants, a variety of fricative. Their place of articulation is postalveolar. They differ in voicing. The voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative and voiced alveolo-palatal fricative are written ɕ and ʑ in the International Phonetic Alphabet.

  7. Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar...

    alveolar (at the alveolar ridge), or post-alveolar (behind the alveolar ridge). It is most often apical, which means it is pronounced with the tip of the tongue. [4] Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.

  8. Alveolar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_process

    The alveolar process (/ æ l ˈ v iː ə l ər, ˌ æ l v i ˈ oʊ l ər, ˈ æ l v i ə l ər /) [1] is the portion of bone containing the tooth sockets on the jaw bones (in humans, the maxilla and the mandible). The alveolar process is covered by gums within the mouth, terminating roughly along the line of the mandibular canal.

  9. Dental and alveolar ejective stops - Wikipedia

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

    Features of the alveolar ejective: 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. There are four specific variants of [tʼ]:
