 | | In linguistics, a dental consonant or dental is a consonant that is articulated with the lower teeth, with the upper teeth, or with both, such as /t/, /d/, /n/, and /l/ in some languages. |
 | | Dentals are primarily distinguished from sounds in which contact is made with the tongue and the gum ridge, as in English (see Alveolar consonant), due to the acoustic similarity of the sounds and the fact that in the Roman alphabet they are generally written using the same symbols (t, d, n, and so on). |
 | | However, the apical dental consonant is articulated with retracted tongue root â” that is, it is velarized. |
