Avoiceless alveolar affricateis a type ofaffricate consonantpronounced with thetiporbladeof the tongue against thealveolar ridge(gum line) just behind the teeth. This refers to a class of sounds, not a single sound. There are several types with significant perceptual differences:
- Thevoiceless alveolar sibilant affricate[t͡s]is the most common type, similar to thetsinEnglishcats.
- Thevoiceless alveolar non-sibilant affricate[t͡θ̠]or[t͡θ͇],using the alveolar diacritic from theExtended IPA,is somewhat similar to thethin some pronunciations ofEnglisheighth.It is found as a regional realization of the sequence/tr/in someSiciliandialects ofStandard Italian.
- Thevoiceless alveolar lateral affricate[t͡ɬ]is found in certain languages, such asCherokee,Mexican Spanish,andNahuatl.
- Thevoiceless alveolar retracted sibilant affricate[t͡s̺],also called apico-alveolar or grave, has a weak hushing sound reminiscent ofretroflexaffricates. One language in which it is found isBasque,where it contrasts with a more conventional non-retracted laminal alveolar affricate.
This article discusses the first two.

Thevoiceless alveolar sibilant affricateis a type ofconsonantalsound, used in somespokenlanguages.The sound is transcribed in theInternational Phonetic Alphabetwith ⟨t͡s⟩ or ⟨t͜s⟩ (formerly with ⟨ʦ⟩ or ⟨ƾ⟩). The voiceless alveolar affricate occurs in manyIndo-European languages,such asGerman(which was also part of theHigh German consonant shift),Kashmiri,Marathi, Pashto,Russianand most otherSlavic languagessuch asPolishandSerbo-Croatian;also, among many others, inGeorgian,in Mongolia, and Tibetan Sanskrit, inJapanese,inMandarin Chinese,and inCantonese.Someinternational auxiliary languages,such asEsperanto,IdoandInterlinguaalso include this sound.
Features
editFeatures of the voiceless alveolar sibilant affricate:
- Itsmanner of articulationissibilantaffricate,which means it is produced by first stopping the air flow entirely, then directing it with the tongue to the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequencyturbulence.
- Thestopcomponent of this affricate islaminalalveolar,which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue at thealveolar ridge.For simplicity, this affricate is usually called after the sibilant fricative component.
- There are at least three specific variants of thefricativecomponent:
- Dentalized laminal alveolar(commonly called "dental" ), which means it is articulated with the tongue blade very close to the upper front teeth, with the tongue tip resting behind lower front teeth. The hissing effect in this variety of[s]is very strong.[1]
- Non-retracted alveolar,which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at thealveolar ridge,termed respectivelyapicalandlaminal.
- Retracted alveolar,which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue slightly behind the alveolar ridge, termed respectivelyapicalandlaminal.Acoustically, it is close to[ʃ]or laminal[ʂ].
- Itsphonationis voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds.
- It is anoral consonant,which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
- It is acentral consonant,which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
- Itsairstream mechanismispulmonic,which means it is articulated by pushing air solely with theintercostal musclesandabdominal muscles,as in most sounds.
