The voiced alveolar trill is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar trills is r , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is r.It is commonly called the rolled R, rolling R, or trilled R.Quite often, r is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) …

The voiced velar plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages.

The voiced palatal plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound in some vocal languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɟ , a barred dotless j that was initially created by turning the type for a lowercase letter f . The equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is J\.. If the distinction is necessary, the voiced alveolo-palatal plosive may be …

The voiced alveolar lateral approximant is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar lateral approximants is l , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is l..

The term, however, is used to refer to two separate concepts: Voicing can refer to the articulatory process in which the vocal folds vibrate, its primary use in phonetics to …
