Topic: Voiceless retroflex plosive


  
 The International Phonetic Alphabet
One sequence commonly found in many languages is the succession of a plosive by the corresponding fricative.
Present participles ending in ‘ng’ are pronounced with a plain velar nasal, as is (consequently) the word “singer”, whereas in the words “finger” or “English”, the ‘ng” combination is a velar nasal followed by a velar plosive.
An empty square means that the sound is (presumably) possible, but no symbol has been defined (because no language uses it, or because it is just as convenient to use diacritics over an existing symbol).

An aspirated plosive is longer than an unaspirated plosive.
Also in rule-based synthesis these vowel- and closure-duration features are successfully applied to improve quality and intelligibility [33].

 Computer-coding the IPA: a proposed extension of SAMPA
Diacritics (other than those already catered for in SAMPA) are mapped onto a keystroke with a preceding underscore, _.
Thus for example the voiced velar fricative (gamma) becomes G, the voiced uvular plosive G\, and the velarization diacritic _G (so that for example velarized d appears as d_G).
Note that upper-case must be distinguished from lower-case, but that there is no need to separate successive symbols by spaces: X-SAMPA symbol strings are uniquely parsable.

 Retroflex consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In phonetics, retroflex consonants are consonant sounds used in some languages.
Retroflex consonants are common in the Indo-Aryan languages and the Dravidian languages; and can also be found in languages such as Mandarin Chinese, Javanese, Vietnamese, Swedish, Norwegian and some languages of Southern Italy and Sardinia.

 Stop consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russian and other Slavic languages have words that begin with [dn], which can be seen in the name of the Dnieper River.
Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally only used in languages where these sounds are phonemic, that is, not analyzed into sequences of plosive plus nasal stop.
Plosives are commonly voiceless, whereas nasal stops are only rarely so.

 How to pronounce Hebrew
Perhaps sin should be a voiceless retroflex fricative, but this is not attested in any Semitic languages, to my knowledge.
Voiceless labiodental fricative f Although (as for beth) the more logical choice might have been the unvoiced bilabial fricative (as Ancient Greek "phi"), this is not at all attested in Hebrew; all modern pronounciations have /f/ (except Babylonian which has aspirated /p/, but this seems borrowed, since no other Semitic languages use aspiration).
Note that there is no qamas qatan, since the Baalei Mesorah saw fit to use one symbol, not two.
