  Place of Articulation
Postalveolar sounds involve the area just behind the alveolar ridge as the passive articulator.
Linguists have traditionally used very inconsistent terminology in referring to the postalveolar POA.
"Postalveolar", the official term used by the International Phonetic Association, is unambiguous, not to mention easier to spell.

All sibilants are coronal, but may be dental, alveolar, postalveolar, or palatal (retroflex) within that range.
However, at the postalveolar place of articulation the tongue may take several shapes: domed, laminal, or apical, and each of these is given a separate symbol and a separate name.
Prototypical retroflexes are sub-apical and palatal, but they are usually written with the same symbol as the apical postalveolars.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Postalveolar consonants are consonants articulated with the tongue near or touching the back of the alveolar ridge, placing them a bit further back in the mouth than the alveolar consonants, which are at the ridge itself, but not as far back as the hard palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
The alveolo-palatal and retroflex consonants are also postalveolar in their point of articulation, but they are given separate columns in the IPA chart, and illustrated with examples in their own articles.
There is an additional postalveolar articulation found in Circassian languages such as Ubyx: the tip of the tongue rests against the lower teeth so that there is no sublingual cavity.

  Palatalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Slavic linguistics, the "palatal" fricatives marked by a hacek are really postalveolar consonants that arose from palatalization historically.
There are also phonetically palatalized consonants that contrast with this; thus the distinction is made between "palatal" (postalveolar) and "palatalized".
Postalveolars, in contrast, take a caron, <š>, or are digraphs in h, .

 Sibilant consonant - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
For example, apical and laminal alveolars can be specified as [s̺] vs [s̻]; a dental (or more likely denti-alveolar) sibilant as [s̪]; a palatalized alveolar as [sʲ]; and a generic postalveolar as [s̠], a transcription frequently used when none of the above apply (that is, for a laminal but non-palatalized, or "flat", postalveolar).
Polish and Russian have laminal denti-alveolars, palatalized denti-alveolars, flat postalveolars, and alveolo-palatals, [s̪ z̪] [s̪ʲ z̪ʲ] [s̠ z̠] [ɕ ʑ]; whereas Mandarin has apical alveolars, flat postalveolars, and alveolo-palatals, [s̺ z̺] [s̠ z̠] [ɕ ʑ].
Toda has a laminal alveolar, an apical postalveolar, laminal domed postalveolars, and sub-apical palatals.

A sibilant is a type of fricative or affricate, made by directing a jet of air through a narrow channel towards the sharp edge of the teeth.
Only the alveolar and palato-alveolar sibilants are distinguished in English; the former are apical, while the latter are slightly labialized and generally called simply "postalveolar":.

 Sibilant
IPA, IPA : ('' Retroflex '', which can mean one of three things: (a) non-palatalized apical postalveolar, (b) sub-apical postalveolar or pre-palatal, or (c) non-palatalized laminal ("flat") postalveolar, sometimes transcribed IPA[s̠ z̠] or IPA[ʂ̻ ʐ̻].
Polish and Russian have laminal denti-alveolars, palatalized denti-alveolars, flat postalveolars, and alveolo-palatals, IPA[s̪ z̪] [s̪ʲ z̪ʲ] [s̠ z̠] [ɕ ʑ]; whereas Mandarin has apical alveolars, flat postalveolars, and alveolo-palatals, IPA[s̺ z̺] [s̠ z̠] [ɕ ʑ].

 Top Literature - Non-native pronunciations of English   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Alveolars become postalveolars in front of /i/ and /j/.
Postalveolars do not exist as phonemes in Korean so the names 'Jack' and 'Zack' are likely to sound exactly the same.
This is most noticeable with /t/, /d/, and /n/ as their place of articulation changes from dental or alveolar to postalveolar (which then affricates) or even palatal.

 North American English Pronunciation
Postalveolar sounds involve the area just behind the alveolar ridge as the passive articulator.
The stop and the fricative halves of these affricates are at the same place of articulation: the stop is in fact postalveolar rather than alveolar.
We could be explicit about this and underline the /t/ and /d/ (in IPA, a minus sign under a symbol is a diacritic meaning "pronounced further back in the mouth"), but most phoneticians believe this difference in the place of articulation is so predictable that it doesn't have to be marked.
