| | LINGUIST List 7.859: interdental fricatives |
 | | SUMMARY: interdental fricatives/affricates <-> alveolar affricates fricative A while ago I asked for examples of interdental fricatives/affricates changing into alveolar fricatives/affricates, or vice-versa. |
 | | Examples of languages in which interdentals became alveolars include Burmese, Arabic, Breton, Hebrew, Akkadian, and Laconian (Ancient Greek) ; examples of the change in the opposite direction are Tahltan (Northern Athabaskan), (Galician) Spanish, and Gosiute Shoshoni. |
 | | press-gopher.uchicago.edu (Peter Daniels) In Hebrew, the interdentals (th, dh) of Semitic became fricatives (sh, z) (sic, not zh). |
