General American also generally has yod-dropping after alveolar consonants.

In matters of sound, English alveolar consonants map as retroflexes rather than dentals.

Palatalization, characteristic of Uralic languages, is contrastive for alveolar consonants.

Sounds made with the tongue touching the alveolar ridge while speaking are called alveolar consonants.

The alveolar consonants are apical.

Similar processes affect other alveolar consonants:

The alveolar consonants (especially the stops) are generally pronounced as denti-alveolars in Belgian Dutch.

Of the alveolar consonants, nasal and laterals are apico-alveolar while the rest are denti-alveolar.

Alveolar consonants are transcribed in the IPA as follows:

There are many types of coronal consonants, for example dental consonants and alveolar consonants.

Assimilation of place is only noticeable in this regressive assimilation of alveolar consonants; it is not something that foreign learners need to learn to do.

Some or all of the "alveolar" consonants (both central and lateral) would be more accurately described as being retracted alveolar consonants.

"Alveolar Consonants in Proto-Dravidian: One or More?"

'Passive' users of the language replace these consonants either with bilabial consonants or with alveolar consonants.

In addition, Harold Orton reported that the Burr caused retraction of following alveolar consonants to post-alveolar or retroflex position.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) does not have separate symbols for the alveolar consonants.

Alveolar consonants t, d, n, l are acceptably either apical (as in English) or laminal (as in French, generally but incorrectly called "dental").

Furthermore, Aita was found to have minimal pairs for the voiced labial and alveolar consonants: /buta/ 'time' vs. /muta/ 'taste'.

Interdental realisations of otherwise dental or alveolar consonants may occur as idiosyncrasies or as coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound.

Any consonant (as far as allophones allowed) could begin a word, but only the alveolar consonants (n, t, r, s) and the velar k could appear word-finally.

It distinguishes dental and alveolar, but the dental consonants are apical and the alveolar consonants are laminal, the opposite of the general pattern.

Modern Finnish only allows dental and alveolar consonants (l, n, r, s, t) to occur as word-final, but originally, words ending in h, k, m were possible as well.

The alveolo-palatal consonants are in complementary distribution with the alveolar consonants , retroflex consonants , and velar consonants , which they derive from historically.

Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.

However, the same is not true of the other alveolar consonants: and behave differently, the only noticeable change being that becomes, and becomes when followed by or, as in: 'this shoe'; 'those years'.
