Claim: The Araona language uses 19 consonants, including ones of the affricate, stop, and fricative types, as well as the Spanish ñ; as an example of the affricate type, the English language uses "ch" and "j."
Evidence: The Araona phonemic inventory consists of four vowels (/a/, /e/, /i/, /o/), and 19 consonants. Affricate Stop Fricative The English sounds spelled "ch" and "j" (broadly transcribed as [t͡ʃ] and [d͡ʒ] in the IPA), German and Italian z [t͡s] and Italian z [d͡z] are typical affricates, and sounds like these are fairly common in the world's languages, as are other affricates with similar sounds, such as those in Polish and Chinese.
