Talk:Voiceless retroflex plosive

Is this the sound used in pronunciation of the word Tamil? gren グレン 03:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

No, that's a denti-alveolar [t̻]. kwami 04:01, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I wasn't sure what it was. I just know I can't say it :( Is there a page for that on wikipedia? gren グレン 04:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Which sound are you refering to? The "t" of 'Tamil' should be pretty straightforward, though I haven't heard it. The "l" is not, however. Is that what you're asking about? As far as I know, it's either an alveolar approximant or a retroflex approximant, not too far off from an English /r/. kwami 05:31, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

@Grenavitar traditionally regarded (in sanskrit) as voiceless dental stop; it is more or less denti alveolar 't'. u have a common wiki page for dose dental n alveolar stops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_and_alveolar_plosives?wprov=sfla1 Inquisitive creature (talk) 03:40, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

ʈʂʰ or ʈʰʂ?

In the Standard Mandarin phonology section, there is a phoneme [ʈʂʰ], and here in the Tibetan section. [ʈʰʂ] is found. Is it possible that these two phonemes are the same, or [ʈʰʂ] exists seperatedly? I don't think the front plosive consonants could be aspirated. Tache 02:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Voiceless retroflex plosive

Isn't voiceless retroflex plosive used in English in other words than the native time which is described in the article? For instance in court or sport? Plufs190 (talk) 09:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so. — Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 20:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Possibly in Highland English as spoken in the Hebrides due to Scottish Gaelic influence but I don't have a citation for that. Alázhlis 00:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alázhlis (talk • contribs)
