The alveolar tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar flaps is ɾ, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is 4. Many linguists use the terms tap and flap indiscriminantly. Peter Ladefoged proposed for a while that it may be useful to distinguish between them. However, his usage has been inconsistent, contradicting its ...

The uvular trill is rare outside Europe, and does not appear in any standard language even within Europe. It is found in conservative dialects of French and German, as in French rue and German Recht, and in southern dialects of Swedish. It also occurs among some speakers of Italian and Russian, although it is considered to be a substandard pronunciation and in Russian at least is often corrected in childhood. Lenin is probably the most famous Russian to use uvular trills, even using them in public speeches. Outside Europe, uvular trills occur in some v ...

The bilabial trill exists as a phoneme in a few languages. In most of the languages where it occurs, it occurs only as a prenasalised bilabial stop with trilled release, [mbʙ]. This developed historically from a prenasalized stop before a relatively high back vowel, such as [mbu], in all but a couple languages, and are usually still limited to such environments. An example is the Kele word [mbʙuen] "its fruit". The known exceptions to this pattern are in Nias ...

True dental consonants are relatively uncommon. In the Romance languages t is often called dental. However, the rearmost contact (which is what gives a consonant its distinctive sound) is actually alveolar, or perhaps denti-alveolar; the fact that the front of the tongue touches the teeth may be more visible, but is unimportant acoustically. The difference between the Romance languages and English is not so much where the tongue contacts the roof of the mouth, as which part of the tongue makes the contact. In English it is the tip of ...
