Talk:Aspirated consonant

message: This article doesn't flow well at all and is very poorly organized.  I might try and clean it up a bit later, but I'd like to get some input on how to do so first. --Lesouris 15:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There are 2 sources of pleasure in this article, imnsho.
* Aspiration means more or less "in-breath" or "in-blow": the so-called aspiration phenomenon may be renamed expiration instead.
* Try the candle test mentioned in the article: you will probably see the flame dance in both cases, as the 's' of store produces an air blow (expiration) as well.
 from wiktionary

message: I don't really know much about linguistics....however it is very unnerving and makes utterly no sense, when I'm looking for a description of what aspiration is, together with examples in English that illustrate what aspiration is, and how English speakers aspirate their consonants, to find that the article mentions everything about unaspirated consonants.  the words pen, ken and ten do not help, which consonants are aspirated?  maybe these should be highlighted?!  and they all rhyme, maybe a more varied and wide range of examples in English should be given.  This is not clear at all.  I would suggest that the paragraph be rewritten, by an individual who understands the subject.  Dannyza1981 (talk) 17:29, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead paragraph had the sharp English examples of "tʰore" and "st⁼ore". I agree that the article explains more what aspirated consonants aren't than what they are. Like You Never Did See (talk) 17:41, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Are whispered d, g, and b in English unaspirated? It seems to me that they are still distinguishable from t, k, and p, but it can't be voicing that distinguishes them as all whispered sounds are unvoiced. If they are, this could be another useful example for the article. DAF (talk) 04:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they are unaspirated. --89.79.88.109 (talk) 20:01, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

text: In addition, there is a fortis-lenis contrast that remains when whispered (this is how, for example, languages without an aspiration contrast can still distinguish consonants when whispering).  Auvon (talk) 23:18, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

message: "In addition to Eastern Armenian, many languages, such as Korean, Thai, Indo-Aryan languages, Dravidian languages, Icelandic, Ancient Greek, and the dialects of Chinese [p˭ t˭ k˭] etc. and [pʰ tʰ kʰ] etc. are different phonemes altogether."
:…which i decode as "many languages are different phonemes altogether". Am i missing something ? Perhaps an "in many languages, such as…" would fix it ?

message: The article probably needs a disclaimer somewhere about the slighly confusing terminological usage of "aspiration" to refer to the existence of a phoneme /h/. --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 18:15, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

message: French,[5] Standard Dutch,[6] Tamil, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Modern Greek, and Latvian are languages that do not have phonemic aspirated consonants. here one should probably add do not have phonemic or allophonic aspirated consonants. i.e. they usually don't have aspirated consonants at all, and if speakers of English and/or German pronounce Italian words and names it often also sounds wrong because of the aspiration...

thread_title:  Italian (etc.) doesn't have phonemic aspiration but it also lacks allophonic/non-phonemic aspiration
