The '''voiceless retroflex affricate''' is a type of [[consonant]]al sound, used in some [[Speech communication|spoken]] [[language]]s. The symbols in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound are {{IPA|[ʈ͡ʂ]}}, sometimes simplified to {{IPA|[tʂ]}},<ref>As an affricate, which is considered a double articulation by the IPA, it doesn't appear in the IPA Unicode 5.1 Chart Appendix. ʂ appears as 136, but unlike the palato-alveolar and alveolar affricates, there is no unified glyph.</ref> and the equivalent [[X-SAMPA]] symbol is ts`.

The '''voiceless retroflex sibilant affricate''' is a type of [[consonant]]al sound, used in some [[Speech|spoken]] [[language]]s. The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|t̠&#865;ʂ}}, sometimes simplified to {{angbr IPA|tʂ}} or {{angbr IPA|ꭧ}}, and the equivalent [[X-SAMPA]] symbol is <code>ts`</code>. Its apical variant is {{angbr IPA|ʈ̺͡ʂ̺}} and laminal variant {{angbr IPA|ʈ̻͡ʂ̻}}.


The affricate occurs in a number of languages:
The affricate occurs in a number of languages:
*[[Asturian language|Asturian]]: Speakers of the western dialects of this language use it instead of the [[voiced palatal fricative]], writing [[Ḷ|ḷḷ]] instead of [[ll]].
* some [[Slavic languages]]: Polish and in Old [[Czech language]]
*[[Slavic languages]]: Polish, Belarusian, Old [[Czech language|Czech]], Serbo-Croatian; some speakers of Russian may use it instead of the [[voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate]].
* [[Mandarin Chinese]] (contrasts an [[Aspiration (phonetics)|aspirated]] and non-aspirated form (''ch'' and ''zh'' respectively))
* a number of [[Northwest Caucasian languages]] have retroflex affricates that contrast in secondary articulations like labialization.
*a number of [[Northwest Caucasian languages]] have retroflex affricates that contrast in secondary articulations like labialization.
*[[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]] and other [[Sinitic languages]].

Features of the voiceless retroflex affricate:
Features of the voiceless retroflex affricate:
{{sibilant affricate}}
* Its [[manner of articulation]] is [[Sibilant consonant|sibilant]] [[affricate consonant|affricate]], which means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then directing it through a groove in the tongue and over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency [[turbulence]].
* Its [[place of articulation]] is retroflex, which prototypically means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue curled up, but more generally means that it is [[postalveolar consonant|postalveolar]] without being [[palatalization|palatalized]].
* Its [[place of articulation]] is [[retroflex consonant|retroflex]], which prototypically means {{cnspan|it is articulated [[Subapical consonant|subapical]] (with the tip of the tongue curled up)|date=October 2023}}, but more generally, it means that it is [[postalveolar consonant|postalveolar]] without being [[palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized]]. That is, besides the prototypical subapical articulation, the tongue contact can be [[apical consonant|apical]] (pointed) or [[laminal consonant|laminal]] (flat).
{{voiceless}}
* Its [[phonation]] type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibration of the vocal cords.
{{oral}}
* It is an [[oral consonant]], which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
{{central articulation}}
* It is a [[central consonant]], which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
{{pulmonic}}
* The [[airstream mechanism]] is [[pulmonic egressive]], which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the [[lung]]s and through the vocal tract, rather than from the [[glottis]] or the mouth.

The voiceless retroflex sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨t̠͡ʂ⟩, sometimes simplified to ⟨tʂ⟩ or ⟨ꭧ⟩, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is ts`. Its apical variant is ⟨ʈ̺͡ʂ̺⟩ and laminal variant ⟨ʈ̻͡ʂ̻⟩.

The affricate occurs in a number of languages:

Features

[edit]

Features of the voiceless retroflex affricate:

  • Its manner of articulation is sibilant affricate, 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-frequency turbulence.
  • Its place of articulation is retroflex, which prototypically means it is articulated subapical (with the tip of the tongue curled up)[citation needed], but more generally, it means that it is postalveolar without being palatalized. That is, besides the prototypical subapical articulation, the tongue contact can be apical (pointed) or laminal (flat).
  • Its phonation is 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 an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
  • It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
  • Its airstream mechanism is pulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air solely with the intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
