Features

Features of the voiceless dental non-sibilant affricate:



  • 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.
  • The airstream mechanism is pulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air solely with the lungs and diaphragm, as in most sounds.

Occurrence

This phoneme is very rare, and is perhaps best known as the final sound in the English words eighth, which is pronounced eight + th and also in width, which contrasts with both pronunciations of with.
