[edit] /t/ sound

I was always aware that the /t/ sound, even in the word utter, was a stop (along with its counterpart /d/). More specifically, a voiceless alveolar stop consonant. Falcon 21:57, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Add tips on the simple observation of articulation?

I was trying to figure out the vowel chart. Observationally. Fingers in mouth, raising tongue to see where it hit, etc. I found external resources like Observing your articulators with suggestions on how to proceed. But not much on wikipedia itself. Perhaps add a section on practical observational anatomical phonetics? So it isn't all just odd characters and vocabulary, but instead something tangible, accessible. Something you could show to a six year old. 66.30.119.55 04:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I've improved the connectivity of articulatory phonetics, which seems the intended parent of manner of articulation, place of articulation, vowel, and consonant. So that would seem to be the place to put it. 66.30.119.55 05:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
