Coronal consonants are articulated with the flexible front part of the Tongue . Only the coronal consonants can be divided into Apical (using the tongue tip), Laminal (using the tongue blade), Domed (with the tongue bunched up), or Sub-apical (with the tongue curled back), as well as a few rarer orientations, because only the front of the tongue has such dexterity. Coronals also have another dimension, grooved, that is used to make Sibilant s in combination with the orientations above. Coronal places of articulation include the Dental Consonant s at the upper Teeth , the Alveolar Consonant s at the upper Gum (the Alveolar Ridge ), the various Postalveolar Consonant s (domed palato-alveolar, laminal alveolo-palatal, and apical retroflex) just behind that, and the true Retroflex Consonant s curled back against the hard Palate . (the list below is only partial, so far being just the alveolars) SEE ALSO |
