Lateral Consonants[edit]

The page at Lateral consonant has a list of lateral consonants, including:

None of these links works. There were two others,

for which I added redirects to the appropriate places. I don't know enough about phonology to be able to do this for the other four. --Dominus 18:53, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

What's the point?[edit]

This is nowhere near a list of "all consonants", nor "all attested consonants", or even "all primary consonants" (ie. without a secondary articulation). "All consonants with dedicated single IPA symbol" would be closer, as well as "a manually up- and outdated index of Category:Consonants". So, opinions please: Is there a point to keeping this around that I'm missing, or should it just be worked on until it'd fulfill one of the first three descriptions? --Tropylium 14:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes.

Consonants may have many places of articulation simultaneously. At least two if that is lingual consonant, e.g. (radical, apical, dorsal)×(labial, interdental, alveolar, postalveolar) + palatalization + velarisation + pharyngealization. So that one-dimension list is too restricted. But sorry (uk:але жаль)! --W.M.drossel (talk) 10:51, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote befor think. I wrote lingual×labial, but meant labiodental. Do there realy exists linguolabial consonant??

--W.M.drossel (talk) 10:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes: linguolabial consonant.

I agree there isn't much point to this. It also pretty much duplicates the table

And I say that as perhaps the person who's done the most work on this since 2006.

There's also Table of consonants, which IMO should also be deleted as basically useless. kwami (talk) 11:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Percussive[edit]

Hm. But what is percussive consonant?--VerbaGleb (talk) 09:45, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect they're flapping the lips together and clattering the teeth, but don't know for sure. I've never been able to find an explanation. — kwami (talk) 08:22, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
