The glottal stop or glottal plosive is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages, produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract or, more precisely, the glottis. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʔ .
ʔ Majuscule: Ɂ, Minuscule: ɂ , called glottal stop, is an alphabetic letter in some Latin alphabets, most notably in several languages of Canada where it indicates a glottal stop sound. Such usage derives from phonetic transcription , for example the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), that use this letter for the glottal stop sound.
An example is ɷ for standard [ʊ]. Several symbols indicating secondary articulation have been dropped altogether, with the idea that they should be indicated with diacritics: ʮ for z̩ʷ is one. In addition, the rare voiceless implosive series ƥ ƭ 𝼉 ƈ ƙ ʠ has been dropped.
In English phonology, t-glottalization or t-glottalling is a sound change in certain English dialects and accents, particularly in the United Kingdom, that causes the phoneme / t / to be pronounced as the glottal stop [] ⓘ in certain positions.
Glottal replacement occurs in Indonesian, where syllable final /k/ is produced as a glottal stop. In every Gorontalic language except Buol and Kaidipang , *k was replaced by a glottal stop, even in word-initial position, except when it followed *ŋ ( *kayu → Gorontalo ayu , *konuku → olu'u ). [ 4 ]
In many fonts, the symbol for the ʻokina looks identical to the symbol for the curved single opening quotation mark. In others (like Linux Libertine) it is a slightly different size, either larger or smaller, as seen in the adjacent image. In this phrase there is one ʻokina before the Ō and another one before the last i. These are slightly ...
Here are features of the voiceless alveolar stop: Its manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive. There are three specific variants of [t]:
The symbol's names and phonetic descriptions are described in the Handbook of the International Phonetic Association. The symbols also have nonce names in the Unicode standard. In some cases, the Unicode names and the IPA names do not agree. For example, IPA calls ɛ "epsilon", but Unicode calls it "small letter open E".
