	Alveolar tap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its place of articulation is alveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.
		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 is the single orthographic 'r' between vowels, as in pero ("but"), but not in perro ("dog"), where it is an alveolar trill.

	Alveolar consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
		Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
		The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.

	Alveolar flap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The difference between a tap and a flap is that in a tap the tongue flips up to strike its point of contact, like a very light plosive, whereas with a flap the tongue is thrown out and down, striking the point of contact in passing.
		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 English when they occur in unstressed syllables, like in the words rider (/ɹaɪɾɚ/ or /ɹaɪɾəː/) and better (/bɛɾɚ/ or /bɛɾəː/).
		The alveolar tap is the single orthographic 'r' in the middle of Spanish words, as in pero ("but"), but not in perro ("dog"), where it is an alveolar trill.

		Trill: The tongue taps the alveolar ridge repeatedly in rapid succession.
		The earliest type of /r/ was a strong trill formed by allowing the tip of th tongue to vibrate against the alveolar ridge.
		One weaker form is the reduction of the trill to a single tap which is hardly distinguishable from a weak /d/.

	International Phonetic Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, flaps and taps are two different kinds of articulation, but since no language has (yet) been found to make a phonemic distinction between, say, an alveolar flap and an alveolar tap, the IPA does not provide them with dedicated symbols.
		A series of alveolar plosives ranging from an open to a closed glottis phonation are:
		A few languages such as Banda have a bilabial flap as the preferred allophone of what is elsewhere a labiodental flap.

	The Flaps
		Ladefoged seems to prefer the term tap, which he defines as a sound ``in which the tongue makes a single tap against the alveolar ridge." He states that other books contrast the alveolar tap with the retroflex flap.
		The reason for the flap is gestural economy - it is much easier, and takes less time, to flap the tongue briefly against the roof of the mouth as compared with the normal closure, release, and optional aspiration cycle of the plosive, or the full lowering and reraising of the velum to produce the nasal.
		There is often a V-shaped falloff in total energy, with the alveolar flags and a mini-plosion just before the resumption of the full vowel after the flap.

		An alveolar tap is simply to make a tap with your tounge on the alveolar ridge (the section of your mouth just above your upper teeth, where you pronounce /d/ /t/ /s/ /z/ and /l/).
		A retroflex tap is to tap the hard palate with the tip of your tongue.
		Tap and flap are synonymous in this context.

	HLW: Word Forms: Units: Consonants 2
		Recall that English consonants are either voiced, with voicing during the production of the consonant, or voiceless, with voicing beginning after or ending before (or simultaneously with) the consonant.
		We can see that the voicing dimension is really a continuous dimension with many different possibilities for the relative timing of the release of the consonant closure and the voicing.
		It is conventional to symbolize the alveolar trill with a double /r/.

		#The alveolar flap is an allophone of /t/ and /d/ in unstressed syllables in North American English and increasingly in Australian English.
		Voicing and aspiration of stop consonants in English depend on dialect and context, but a few general rules can be given:
		This means that the pitch of the voice is used syntactically, for example, to convey surprise and irony, or to change a statement into a question.

	Phonology
		Similarly the IPA values should be regarded as indicative rather than definitive: for instance, anyone should be at liberty to pronounce a voiced alveolar "r" sound as /ɾ/ - a tap or flap, as /r/ - a trill, or as /ɹ/ - an approximant, so long as the word being uttered is recognisable.
		This might tend to be rejected as unprecedented, but the "letter shape" is surely appropriate, and the voiceless uvular plosive [q] is right next to the voiced velar plosive [g] in any case.
		Notable for their absence from the suggested Lang25 phonology are the common English phonemes /θ/ and /ð/ (/dh/ and /th/) the voiced and voiceless dental fricatives - as in "the" and "thin".

	Re: Why do some languages roll their "R" sound?
		We seem to regard the voiced alveolar tap as the paradigm case of an r-sound.
		For example, Arabic has two or three consonants which are phonetically similar to the r-sounds of various European languages, but we single out the alveolar tap as the one we choose to represent as , and we transcribe the other sounds differently.
		The Spanish spelling convention is to write the first with a single and the second with a double , as in 'but' and 'dog', even though hardly anybody regards the second as a geminate of the first.

	Voiceless alveolar plosive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The voiceless alveolar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
		When it occurs at the beginning of an unstressed syllable that isn't at the beginning of a word, like in volatile, palatable, or theater, then it becomes an alveolar tap in most North American dialects, and it is slightly aspirated or unaspirated in other dialects.

	British accent \| Antimoon Forum
		I think that a proper "posh" accent is exclusive to those who belong to the good old-fashioned aristocracy and that's how it should be.
		They can alternate between a fricative, a voiced flap/tap and the more conservative unvoiced stop consonant, and sometimes all of the above in just one sentence.
		However, not to rain on anyone's parade but it's not technically [d] that is being realized in such instances, it's a voiced alveolar tap/flap ([d] is a voiced alveolar stop).

		The voiced tap allophone [r] in intervocalic position is articulated very much like the Spanish /r/.
		The variant pronunciation occurs whenever an alveolar consonant is followed by the stressed vowel /uw/.
		English /t/ has more than one allophone: voiceless, alveolar, stop, aspirated (team, top), voiceless, alveolar, stop, unaspirated (steam, stop), voiceless, alveolar, stop, unreleased (meet, pot) and voiced, alveolar, tap, unaspirated (meeting, better).

	Talk:Albanian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		No audio is provided for rr to establish whether it is in fact an alveolar trill (r).
		The UCL obviously carries more weight, AND says that r is a voiced alveolar tap, that rr is voiced alveolar trill, that gj is a voiced palatal plosive, that q is a voiceless palatal plosive etc. Who shall prevail?
		It would appear that Albanian q and gj are most likely the voiceless (ʨ) and voiced alveolo-palatal affricate (ʥ) that contrast with ç and xh, the voiceless (tʃ) and voiced postalveolar affricate (dʒ) respectively, as in Serbian.--Theathenae 13:08, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

		To a foreign ear, it sounds very similar to zh, though a better approximation could be rolled (trilled) r combined with zh, which was incidentally sometimes used as an orthography for this sound (rž) for example in the royal charter of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1609.
		The phonetic description of the sound is "a raised alveolar non-sonorant vibrant" which can be either voiceless (terminally or next to a voiceless consonant) or voiced (elsewhere), the IPA transcription being r̝, however this is contested as not representing the ř sound properly.
		r̝ is a Czech-specific raised alveolar non-sonorant trill which can be pronounced both voiced and voiceless (regarded as two allophones of one phoneme).

		Alveolar - tongue blade to the alveolar ridge
		Voicing resumes soon after if the vocal folds are adducted (voiced stop), or is delayed (larger "voice onset time") for voiceless stops
		When an alveolar stop is followed by /l/, the stop release happens when the sides of the tongue are lowered (called lateral release, as in battle, huddle)
