| | Laminal - KutjaraWiki |
 | | Laminal consonants are those articulated with the lamina, or blade of the tongue, the part just behind the tip; in phonetics, the term contrasts with apical (articulated with the tongue tip) and dorsal (articulated with the body of the tongue). |
 | | (This is a convenience; retroflexes can vary from apical postalveolar to apical palatal, but laminal postalveolars and palatals already have their own symbols, or can be written with the "retracted" diacritic.) |
 | | Laminal consonants mostly occur in the alveolar to alveolo-palatal range, though in addition, interdental and interlinguolabial consonants are by definition laminal. |
