What is "alveolar"?
Alveolar refers to sounds produced when the tongue makes contact with the alveolar ridge, which is the bony ridge located just behind the upper front teeth. Alveolar sounds are common in many languages, including English. Examples of alveolar sounds in English include the consonants "t," "d," "s," "z," "n," and "l." These sounds are characterized by their specific place of articulation, and understanding alveolar sounds is important in phonetics, as they play a significant role in speech production and pronunciation.
