	Ejective consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the scattered languages with ejectives elsewhere are Itelmen of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages and Yapese of the Austronesian family.
		A few languages utilise ejective fricatives: in some dialects of Hausa, the standard affricate [ts’] is a fricative [s’]; Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) has an ejective lateral fricative; and Kabardian in addition to the lateral has ejective labiodental, alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.
		Tlingit is another extreme case, with ejective alveolar, lateral, velar, and uvular fricatives; it may be the only language with the latter.

	Ejective consonant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Ejective consonants are a class of consonants which may contrast with aspirated or unaspirated consonants in a language.
		Ejectives are voiceless consonants which are pronounced with simultaneous glottal closure.
		The vast majority of ejective consonants noted in the world's languages are plosives or affricates, and all are obstruents.

		The glottis is raised while the forward articulation (a in the case of) is held, raising air pressure in the mouth, so when the is released, there is a noticeable burst of air.
		The most common ejective is, as it is easy to raise the necessary pressure within the small oral cavity used to pronounce a.

	Sounds of Waimaha
		Ejective stops are not at all common in Austronesian languages, although they are widespread in parts of Africa and North America.
		Ejective stops are formed by first closing off the glottis, creating a body of air in the vocal tract that can be moved.
		A phonological oddity in the Austronesian area: ejectives in Waimoa.

		The most common ejective is [k-], as it is easy to raise the necessary pressure within the small oral cavity used to pronounce a [k].
		Ejective fricatives are rare for presumably the same reason: with the air escaping from the mouth while the pressure is being raised, like inflating a leaky bicycle tire, it's harder to make the resulting sound as salient as a [k-].
		A few languages utilise ejective fricatives: in some dialects of Hausa, the standard affricate [ts-] is a fricative [s-]; Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) has an ejective lateral fricative; and Kabardian in addition to the lateral has ejective labiodental, alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.

		Ejectives are symbolised by placing an apostrophe after the symbol for a voiceless consonant symbol.
		Ejectives are found in contrast to pulmonic egressive sounds in languages of North and Central America, many languages in Africa and in Caucasian languages.
		In American writings the term ejective is often replaced by the term glottalised.

		It is thirdly ejective; the self interprets observed persons in terms of its own feelings, thoughts and habits.
		In the ejective processes of the ' dialectic of personal growth' not all of our acquaintances are indiscriminately utilized.
		These ejective selections are the psychological basis of all social groupings, not only of those of the more intimate sort, such as personal friendships, but those also of the purely utilitarian sort, like business partnerships.

	Ubykh language, alphabet and pronunciation
		To avoid confusing a palatised ejective consonant with a plain consonant plus Ы, the ejective sign will be written immediately after the basic consonant in Cyrillic and not at the end of the combination.
		This is the standard practice in French, and has been adopted to avoid confusing the single close quote with the ejective.
		The purpose behind this orthography is to provide a combination of a wide scope of use (any Turkish or European keyboard can produce these combinations), aesthetics (there are no diacritics aside from the ejective apostrophe) and an ability to use normal English and Turkish punctuation, including capital letters and exclamation and question marks.

	Upper Necaxa Totonac Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		From a Totonacan perspective, UNT is notable for its lack of a lateral affricate (neutralized historically with the lateral fricative) and the absence of a uvular stop, now realized as a glottal stop.
		Even more interesting is the presence of a series of three ejective fricatives, including the extremely unusual ejectivized lateral fricative.

	Armenian
		The sound system of Armenian is atypical of Indo-European languages in that it has ejective sounds.
		Ejectives are sounds made by using the vocal cords instead of the lungs to push out air.
		It is thought that these sounds were borrowed from neighboring Caucasian languages which contain many ejective sounds.

		An example of what may resemble an ejective consonant is the "ch" at the word "school" in American pronounciation (i guess).
		An ejective consonant followed by a vowel can be simulated by making a pause between them, and then progressively joining the consonant with the pause.
		I'd like you to select all ejective consonants (those which are represented with a letter plus an apostrophe) and post here (at the Armazi site you you find a nice explanation about this topic).

	About Georgia : Language and Alphabet : Georgian Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		While the Mkhedruli alphabet is used for writing, the modern Georgian language does not have capital or small letters.
		Where there are multiple consonants for a point of articulation, they are given in the following order: voiceless / voiced / voiceless ejective.
		In the ejective sounds, one creates a stronger stress in the sound that follows the consonant.

		It has ejectives and voiceless plosives at alveolar, velar and uvular places of articulation.
		These recordings were made by Janet Werker and loaned to Louis Goldstein.
		The main objective is to be able to distinguish ejectives from voiceless plosives.

	Oromo
		When an ejective velar stop occurs before /n/, metathesis fails to apply.
		Thus, shifting the ejective alveolar stop to prevocalic position may strengthen the syntagmatic contrast between the stop and contiguous nasal.
		In the case of nasals, anticipatory coarticulation in the form of vowel nasalization on a preceding vowel provides cues to the nasal's manner of articulation.

	The Secwepemctsín Language
		Stress is marked by an acute accent, á.
		In the Western dialect, there is no ejective /t̓/, and no lateral stop /tl/, so the symbol 〈t〉 does double duty: 〈t〉 is an alveolar stop, and 〈t̓〉 is a lateral ejective.
		The Eastern dialect differentiates between an alveolar and a lateral ejective, I assume /t̓/ is written 〈t̓〉 and /t̓l/ as 〈t̓l〉.

		This can be verified through the mp3 sound files that can be found in the Table I below (download files kanka and qaqa to see the difference between /k/ and /q/).
		Besides, in Table I the Aymara alphabet is presented according to the different articulation points (upper figure) and articulation modes (aspirated, ejective, fricative, etc.)
		When i and u are contiguous to any postvelar phoneme (q, q', qh and x), they become open, so alophonic /e/ and /o/ forms occur.
