Laminal alveolar

Template:Infobox IPA Some languages have a voiced (post)alveolar approximant that is acoustically distinct from a typical Template:IPA, which has variously been described as being 'Template:IPAblink-like'<ref name="shimoji08" /> or 'non-rhotic'.<ref name="ball2020">Template:Citation</ref> Some authors have reported the distinction as one of articulation, with the formerly mentioned sound being classified as laminal, while a typical Template:IPA is distinguished as apical.<ref name="prox2011">Template:Citation</ref> The International Phonetic Alphabet has no symbol to represent this sound, but possible transcriptions with diacritics include Template:Angbr IPA and Template:Angbr IPA, both of which have been used in literature. Several symbols have been proposed to represent this sound, but none have become widely accepted.

Postalveolar

Template:See also Template:Infobox IPA

A schematic mid-sagittal section of an articulation of a voiced postalveolar approximant [ɹ̠].

The most common sound represented by the letter r in English is the voiced postalveolar approximant, pronounced further back than a typical Template:IPA and transcribed more precisely in IPA as Template:Angbr IPA, but Template:Angbr IPA is often used for convenience in its place. For further ease of typesetting, English phonemic transcriptions might use the symbol Template:Angbr IPA even though this symbol represents the alveolar trill in phonetic transcription.

The bunched or molar r sounds remarkably similar to the postalveolar approximant and can be described as a voiced labial pre-velar approximant with tongue-tip retraction. It can be transcribed in extIPA as Template:Angbr IPA.
