Talk:Dental and alveolar ejective stops

Assessment

Well-written Prose is minimal, but what exists is not bad

Structure: Well structured, similar to other articles in this area

Understandable: Yes

• Verifiability: poorly sourced
• Coverage of Topic: The article covers the bare minimum of information required regarding the topic, but could be improved

Neutral Point of View: Yes

Supporting Material: Infobox and tables are appropriate and add to the comprehension of information.

Overall rating: Start

While it covers the bare minimum, a look at other similar articles like Alveolar approximant shows how the article can be expanded to incorporate more information. It would also serve the article well to cite more sources and, rather than a bibliography, incorporate them into inline citations or notes so that it is more clear what information is attributable to where.

Standard symbol?

I’ve not seen <ť>, LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CARON (U+0165), used very often to transcribe the ejective dental stop. Elsewhere in this article the more common sequence <t’> is used. Note that there is no corresponding symbol for Velar ejective.

I suggest that, barring citation of a standard that suggests the use of U+0165, we stick to common usage and use <t’> everywhere.

Exists in English

This sound exists in (chiefly British) English as a pre-pausal allophone of /t/. Wikipedia does mention the same thing for /k/ (see velar ejective), but it happens with /t/ as well. For example here in "bonus content" at 0:12 into the video. 92.218.236.143 (talk) 16:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Georgian

Georgian /tʼ/ is dental [tʼ̪], it isn't alveolar. 92.184.124.174 (talk) 08:47, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
