Template:Short description Template:Infobox IPA Template:Infobox IPA

Voiceless alveolar and dental plosives (or stops) are a type of consonantal sound used in almost all spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiceless dental, alveolar, and postalveolar plosives is Template:Angbr IPA. The voiceless dental plosive can be distinguished with the underbridge diacritic, Template:Angbr IPA and the postalveolar with a retraction line, Template:Angbr IPA, and the extIPA has a double underline diacritic which can be used to explicitly specify an alveolar pronunciation, Template:Angbr IPA.

The Template:IPA sound is a very common sound cross-linguistically.Template:Sfnp Most languages have at least a plain Template:IPA, and some distinguish more than one variety. Some languages without a Template:IPA are colloquial Samoan (which also lacks an Template:IPA), Abau, and Nǁng of South Africa.Template:Citation needed

There are only a few languages which distinguish dental and alveolar stops, Kota, Toda, Venda and many Australian Aboriginal languages being a few of them; certain varieties of Hiberno-English also distinguish them (with Template:IPA being the local realisation of the Standard English phoneme Template:IPA, represented by ⟨th⟩).

Here are the features of voiceless alveolar stops:

Template:Plosive

  • There are three specific variants of Template:IPA:
    • Dental, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the upper teeth, termed respectively apical and laminal.
    • Denti-alveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge, and the tip of the tongue behind upper teeth.
    • Alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
