[edit]
Is this the sound used in pronunciation of the word Tamil? gren グレン 03:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- No, that's a denti-alveolar [t̻]. kwami 04:01, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, I wasn't sure what it was. I just know I can't say it :( Is there a page for that on wikipedia? gren グレン 04:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- Which sound are you refering to? The "t" of 'Tamil' should be pretty straightforward, though I haven't heard it. The "l" is not, however. Is that what you're asking about? As far as I know, it's either an alveolar approximant or a retroflex approximant, not too far off from an English /r/. kwami 05:31, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

- @Grenavitar traditionally regarded (in sanskrit) as voiceless dental stop; it is more or less denti alveolar 't'. u have a common wiki page for dose dental n alveolar stops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_and_alveolar_plosives?wprov=sfla1 Inquisitive creature (talk) 03:40, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
ʈʂʰ or ʈʰʂ?
[edit]In the Standard Mandarin phonology section, there is a phoneme [ʈʂʰ], and here in the Tibetan section. [ʈʰʂ] is found. Is it possible that these two phonemes are the same, or [ʈʰʂ] exists seperatedly? I don't think the front plosive consonants could be aspirated. Tache 02:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Voiceless retroflex plosive
[edit]Isn't voiceless retroflex plosive used in English in other words than the native time which is described in the article? For instance in court or sport? Plufs190 (talk) 09:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think so. — Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 20:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Possibly in Highland English as spoken in the Hebrides due to Scottish Gaelic influence but I don't have a citation for that. Alázhlis 00:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alázhlis (talk • contribs)
