  Flap consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In phonetics, a flap or tap is a type of consonantal sound, which is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator (such as the tongue) is thrown against another.
The main difference between a flap and a stop consonant is that in a flap, there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation, and consequently no release burst.
They include a bilabial flap in Banda, which may be an allophone of the labiodental flap, and a velar lateral flap as an allophone in Kanite and Melpa.

The alveolar tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator briefly strikes the other.
It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.

Tapping (also known as a two-hand hammer-on), performed in conjunction with normal fingering by the fret hand, facilitates the construction of note intervals that would otherwise be impossible using the fretting hand alone.
Perhaps the most famous employment of tapping is the short piece "Eruption" on the first Van Halen album, which features very fast tapping runs and formed the blueprint of heavy metal lead playing throughout the 1980s.
A related technique is "tapped harmonics", where the fret hand acts as a barre, while the harmonic is tapped.

No language contrasts a tap and a flap at the same place of articulation.
The alveolar flap is not a phoneme of English, but it occurs as an allophone of [t] and [d] (the voiceless alveolar plosive and voiced alveolar plosive) in North American English and sometimes in Australian and New Zealand English when they occur in unstressed syllables, like in the words rider ([ɹaɪɾɚ] or [ɹaɪɾə]).
The alveolar tap sometimes occurs in Central Swedish dialects as an allophone of /r/.

 Flap consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flaps also contrast with trills, where the airstream causes the articulator to vibrate.
Trills may be realized as a single contact, like a flap, but are variable, whereas a flap is limited to a single contact.
(However, the latter is rare and may be a palatalized alveolar lateral flap rather than a separate phoneme.) These contrast with lateral approximants at the same positions, as well as a central retroflex flap [ɽ], alveolar trill [r], and retroflex approximant [ɻ].
