The voiced alveolar sibilant fricative is a type of consonant. The letter for this sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet is ⟨z⟩. The X-SAMPA symbol for this sound is ⟨z⟩.
Features
- Its phonation is voiced. It means that the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
- We produce it at alveolar. It means that we produce this sound with the tip of the tongue(apical) or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge (laminal).
- Its behavior is fricative. It means that we produce this sound by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, to make turbulence.
