The voiced alveolar affricate is a sound used in some spoken languages. It is potentially in English but is very similar to the pronunciation of dds as in adds.

Features

Features of a voiced alveolar affricate:

  • The phonation is voiced. This means that the vocal cords vibrate while the sound is being pronounced.
  • The place of articulation (where the sound is produced) is alveolar. This means that this sound is produced with the tip of the tongue (apical) or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge (laminal).
  • The manner of articulation (how the sound is produced) is affricate. This means that this sound is produced by first stopping the air flowing from the mouth, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place this sound is produced, to make turbulence.
  • It is an oral consonant. This means that air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
