dental consonant

Apparently, interdentals do not contrast with dental consonants within any language.

In most informal transliterations the distinction between retroflex and dental consonants is not indicated.

Superimposed on this are areal features such as a shift of dental consonants to palatal.

Most Indian languages make a distinction between the retroflex and dental forms of the dental consonants.

True dental consonants are relatively uncommon.

Until recently an additional number of dental consonants that changed the meaning of a word was known in the dialect of Föhr.

This was accomplished by placing a superscript ط (to'e) above the corresponding dental consonants.

In many other languages these same consonants are articulated slightly differently, and are often described as dental consonants.

I tend to think of the sound as a mix between Arabic (minus the distinctive pharyngeals) and Spanish, due to the dental consonants."

There are many types of coronal consonants, for example dental consonants and alveolar consonants.

They derive historically from dental consonants, and Tshila dialect still has dental /t, d, n/, etc.

Like other Berber languages and Arabic, it has both Pharyngealization ("emphatic") and plain dental consonants.

The retroflex consonants needed to be added as well; this was accomplished by placing a small ط (tō'ē) above the corresponding dental consonants.

Dentals or Dental consonants are coronal consonants, meaning they are made by touching the front of the tongue to the upper teeth.

It distinguishes dental and alveolar, but the dental consonants are apical and the alveolar consonants are laminal, the opposite of the general pattern.

The change affecting dental consonants is generally assumed to have been a separate phenomenon, and was already a part of Proto-Indo-European phonetics, since other Indo-European languages show similar results.

(For comparative purposes we may refer to this generally as a dental, although in some of the languages, including most varieties of English, /t/ and /d/ are alveolar rather than dental consonants.)

In Vanuatu, some of the Santo-Malekula languages have shifted historically from labial to dental consonants via an intermediate linguolabial stage, which remains in other Santo and Malekula languages.

The traditional ordering can be summarised as follows: vowels, velar consonants, palatal consonants, retroflex consonants, dental consonants, bilabial consonants, approximants, sibilants, and other consonants.

The set of retroflex consonants in Tamil will also require special drilling for the English speaker, and the dental consonants will be difficult for him to hear as being different from his own alveolar consonants.

The dental non-sibilant fricatives are often called "interdental" because they are often produced with the tongue between the upper and lower teeth, and not just against the back of the upper teeth, as they are with other dental consonants.
