| | Tenser, said the Tensor: R-Sounds |
 | | Since the phoneme inventories of the languages in UPSID were collected from printed sources with varying levels of detail, sometimes the features described in one language are less specific than in others. | | | This got me wondering what the most common r-sound is. As it happens, last year for a phonology project I imported the UPSID database (which I've mentioned before) into Access, so I can quickly write SQL queries on its contents: the phoneme inventories of 451 genetically diverse languages. | | | The approximant r-sounds (which include the English variant) are found in only 47 languages, and the uvular fricative and trill occur in only 22 and 4 languages, respectively. |

| | LINGUIST List 7.859: interdental fricatives |
| | SUMMARY: interdental fricatives/affricates <-> alveolar affricates fricative A while ago I asked for examples of interdental fricatives/affricates changing into alveolar fricatives/affricates, or vice-versa. | | | zdv.uni-tuebingen.de (Markus Hiller) there is another possible development of dental fricatives: since old germanic is usually analyzed as having had dental fricatives where english has them, this means that they developed to the alveolar(!) lenis plosives (unaspirated; voiced intervocalically) of modern german, e.g. | | | Here are the replies -- thanks to Adamantios Gafos, Rick McCallister, Peter Daniels, Ralph Penny, Howard Gregory, Jakob Dempsey, Markus Hiller, Daniel Kahn, Philip Shaw, Francisco Dubert Garcia, James Harris, and Dirk Elzinga, who replied to this query. |

| | I start the trill without touching the alveolar ridge, but you can also start it with a /t/ or /d/-like position. | | | The more back version might be a little easier to produce when just learning. | | | Chinese students sometimes learn trills by adding a /d/ at the beginning (there is a Chinese folk song that uses a /d/-initiated trill): drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... |

| | I, on the other hand, have trouble with the uvular trill, but the alveolar trill such as in Spanish and Italian is quite easy for me. Perhaps it has something to do with the languages we learned in our youth? | | | For languages in which it is not present, it is difficult for its speakers to produce. | | | For example Icelanders (though northerly) and Italians use the alveolar trill (tongue trill) for "R" so for them the uvular trill is troublesome. |

| | In many languages taps are used as reduced variants of trills, especially in fast speech. | | | Note, however, that in Spanish, for example, taps and trills contrast, as in pero ("but") versus perro ("dog"). | | | A bilabial trill (sometimes represented as "brrr...") can be made with both lips, but is hardly ever used as a speech segment (there are one or two examples of such use worldwide). |

| | Alveolar trill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Alveolar trills are common in Slavic languages like Russian and Polish, as well as Romance languages such as Spanish and Italian. | | | This page contains phonetic information in IPA, which may not display correctly in some browsers. | | | The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth. |

| | These conventions were not as strictly adhered to in the various film and animation versions of Tolkien's works. | | | People learning Dutch as a foreign language also tend to use the alveolar trill because it contrasts better with the back fricative sound [x] used for CH and G in Dutch. | | | These consonants are usually found as a uvular trill (IPA //), a voiced uvular fricative (IPA /&;/), a voiceless uvular fricative (IPA /χ/), or a voiceless velar fricative (IPA /x/, which is actually not uvular but usually evolves from an earlier uvular form). |

| | Also, many languages do not have a lateral-central contrast at all, so that even a consistently neutral articulation may be perceived as sometimes lateral, sometimes central. | | | (However, the latter may instead be a palatalized alveolar lateral flap.) These contrast with lateral approximants at the same positions, as well as a central retroflex flap [ɽ], alveolar trill [r], and alveolar approximant [&;]. | | | The symbol for the alveolar lateral flap is the basis for the expected (though not officially recognized) symbol for the, |
