| | Sibilant consonant - TheBestLinks.com - Affricate, Consonant, Fricative, Latin, ... |
| | English contrasts two types of sibilants; some dialects of Inuktitut use just one; the Caucasian language Ubykh makes contrast between four types of sibilant; and Rotokas, an Austronesian language, lacks sibilants altogether. | | | Sibilants include fricatives (including SAMPA [s], [S], [z], and [Z]), and affricates (including [ts], [tS], [dz], and [dZ]). | | | It is a kind of linguistic catchall, but useful because sibilant sounds tend to migrate between sibilant classes when languages evolve, and not really to other classes: the Proto-Germanic verb meaning to swim has split into the English swim, with the sibilant s, and the German schwimmen, with the English sibilant sh. |
