Talk:Voiced dental and alveolar taps and flaps

message: Does the audio file give a good example of this sound? I am maybe wrong (which happens quite often), but I don't consider the example correct. All these files are recorded by one person, aren't they?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.70.117.103 (talk) 21:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Scottish English uses an alveolar tap for "r".  This should be added to the table.  208.104.45.20 (talk) 09:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello all.  I have noticed a significant problem in this article and the trill article.  As far as Southern German goes, it uses an alveolar tap in most cases.  For emphasis, a trill can be done, and depending on the person and the context, may be used more often in certain cases (for example in the word Schmarrn).  In fact, both exist.  The alveolar tap is just much more common.  Also, in African French, as far as my experience goes, an alveolar tap is far more common than a trill.  My expertise on that topic is much more limited, but I have never heard a trill in African French, just a tap.  Let me know what you all think!  Syrupface (talk) 20:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Would this article be the place for a section on the nasalized alveolar tap , used at least in American English for (post-stress) intervocalic /n/ and /nt/, i.e. inner = inter- ?  — ˈzɪzɨvə (talk) 22:46, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: It's really odd that this one is titled as a "tap" and the other taps/flaps are titled as "flaps". I'm gonna move this article so that it's titled as a flap like the other ones.~Wimpy Fanboy t g 20:19, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, this one seems to feel like a flap, just like all the other ones. It's more commonly called "flipped r" than "tapped r".~Wimpy Fanboy t g 20:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I've seen, the tap is more common (both the occurrence and the description), especially outside of English.  It's not a big deal either way, IMHO.  — Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi] 23:48, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Have you ever heard a Swiss pronounce the final 'r' sound in German words like Gefahr (danger) or Verkehr (traffic)? At least in some regions, I'm fairly sure that this is a voiceless alveolar flap they use when they pronounce these words, especially on said final 'r'. What do you think? Remember that in Standard German, the final r in particular can be approximated as a schwa in phonetics but does never sound like an 'r' as such. -andy 77.7.101.167 (talk) 16:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That's possible. Remember that there are two phonemic schwas in standard German German, namely close-mid/mid  and open-mid/near-open , the so-called 'a-schwa'. Unstressed  is always pronounced as the latter. Peter238 (talk) 16:25, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I think this article about alveolar flaps is well written. It is easy to understand and where terms should be defined, there is a link to refer to another page. There are no noticeable errors in the language that hinders a reader's understanding of the article. It is also well organized into sections and sub sections. Aside from links to other articles for the purpose of defining terms, the article is also well referenced with reliable, academic sources. All of the sources are cited and it contains no original research. Many areas of this topic are addressed including alveolar flaps from different languages and how it is compared and contrasted to taps. There are minimal to no personal opinions, therefore neutral. It also gives the views of different standpoints. Although this article shows images of IPA symbols, it doesn't give images of how the tongue should be in the mouth. Saggital heads should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SakuraChii (talk • contribs) 06:55, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

message: It now reads "Its place of articulation is apical dental, apical alveolar or apical post-alveolar, ...". Does this mean only an apical articulation is possible? --JorisvS (talk) 08:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
