Interdental consonants are produced by placing the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower front teeth. That differs from typical dental consonants, which are articulated with the tongue against the back of the upper incisors. No language is known to contrast interdental and dental consonants.

Interdental consonants may be transcribed with the extIPA subscript, plus superscript bridge, as in ⟨n̪͆ t̪͆ d̪͆ θ̪͆ ð̪͆ r̪͆ ɹ̪͆ l̪͆ ɬ̪͆ ɮ̪͆⟩, but it is more common to transcribe them as advanced dentals, as in ⟨n̪̟ t̪̟ d̪̟ θ̟ ð̟ r̪̟ ɹ̪̟ l̪̟ ɬ̪̟ ɮ̪̟⟩, or even as advanced alveolars, as in ⟨n̟ t̟ d̟ r̟ ɹ̟ l̟ ɬ̟ ɮ̟⟩.

Interdental consonants are rare cross-linguistically. Interdental realisations of otherwise-dental or alveolar consonants may occur as idiosyncrasies or as coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound. The most commonly-occurring interdental consonants are the non-sibilant fricatives (sibilants may be dental but do not appear as interdentals). Apparently, interdentals do not contrast with dental consonants in any language.

Occurrence

[edit]

Voiced and voiceless interdental fricatives [ð̟, θ̟] appear in American English as the initial sounds of words like 'then' and 'thin'. In British English, the consonants are more likely to be dental [ð, θ].

An interdental [l̟] occurs in some varieties of Italian, and it may also occur in some varieties of English though the distribution and the usage of interdental [l̟] in English are not clear.

Interdental approximants [ð̞] are found in about a dozen Philippine languages, including Kagayanen (Manobo branch), Karaga Mandaya (Mansakan branch), Kalagan (Mansakan branch), Southern Catanduanes Bicolano, and several varieties of Kalinga,[1] as well as in the Bauchi languages of Nigeria.[2]

Interdental [ɮ̟] occurs in some dialects of Amis. Mapuche has interdental [n̟], [t̟], and [l̟].

In most Indigenous Australian languages, there is a series of "dental" consonants, written th, nh, and (in some languages) lh. They are always laminal (pronounced by touching with the blade of the tongue) but may be formed in one of three different ways, depending on the language, the speaker, and how carefully the speaker pronounces the sound. They are apical interdental [t̺͆~d̺͆ n̺͆ l̺͆] with the tip of the tongue visible between the teeth, as in th in American English; laminal interdental [t̻͆~d̻͆ n̻͆ l̻͆] with the tip of the tongue down behind the lower teeth, so that the blade is visible between the teeth; and denti-alveolar [t̻̪~d̻̪ n̻̪ l̻̪], that is, with both the tip and the blade making contact with the back of the upper teeth and alveolar ridge, as in French t, d, n, l.

Interdental consonant

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Interdental are a class of consonantal sounds in human languages produced when the tip or blade of the is placed between the upper and lower teeth, resulting in a narrowing of the vocal tract that typically generates turbulent . These sounds are distinguished from dental , where the contacts the back of the teeth without protruding between them, and are most commonly realized as fricatives due to the caused by air passing through the interdental . The primary interdental consonants in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are the voiceless dental fricative [θ], as in the English word "think," and its voiced counterpart [ð], as in "this," both of which involve the tongue protruding slightly between the teeth while the vocal cords vibrate for the latter. Less common manners of articulation include approximants, nasals, and lateral fricatives, though these are rarer and often allophonically vary with dental or alveolar equivalents in specific languages. Interdental consonants are relatively uncommon cross-linguistically, appearing in only about 10% of documented languages according to the PHOIBLE 2.0 database, which analyzes over 2,000 inventories. Their distribution spans multiple language families and regions, including like English and Icelandic, where [θ] and [ð] are phonemic; such as certain dialects that retain emphatic interdentals; like , which uses [θ] for orthographic c and z; and isolates or other families like (e.g., ) and some . This rarity contributes to pronunciation challenges for second-language learners whose native inventories lack them, often leading to substitutions with alveolar stops or fricatives like /t/, /d/, /s/, or /z/. Evolutionarily, interdental sounds may be influenced by anatomical factors, such as changes in human over time, and they frequently undergo shifts to alveolar or sibilant articulations in historical sound changes across languages like Burmese, Hebrew, and Breton.

Definition and Articulation

Articulatory Description

Interdental consonants are articulated with the apex ( protruding between the upper and lower incisors, creating a where the teeth form the primary barriers to airflow. This positioning distinguishes the as interdental, involving direct contact or close approximation between the and the dental structures. The may also contribute slightly, but the apex is the key active in this configuration. The primary airflow mechanism for interdental consonants involves pulmonic egressive airstream, where air from the lungs passes through the narrow channel between the tongue and teeth, producing turbulent friction in fricative realizations. In the voiceless interdental fricative, represented as [θ] in the International Phonetic Alphabet, the air is forced through this restricted passage without vocal fold vibration, resulting in audible noise from the turbulence. Conversely, the voiced interdental fricative [ð] incorporates vibration of the vocal folds during airflow, adding a periodic buzz to the frictional component while maintaining the same basic constriction. Physiological factors, such as controlled jaw opening to allow tongue protrusion and precise muscle coordination in the tongue and lips, are essential for achieving this articulation without unintended contact elsewhere in the vocal tract. Variant forms include interdental , where the is wider than in fricatives, permitting smoother with minimal or no . This results in a more open vocal tract configuration, often observed in specific languages, and relies on similar tongue positioning but with reduced narrowing at the teeth. Such approximants highlight the continuum of constriction degrees possible in interdental production.

Distinction from Dental and Alveolar Consonants

Dental consonants are produced when the tip or blade of the approaches or makes contact with the upper incisors or the back of the upper teeth, without the tongue protruding between the teeth. This articulation creates a primarily at the teeth, often resulting in fricatives like those symbolized as [θ] and [ð] in languages such as English, where the tongue is positioned close to or against the upper teeth. In contrast, alveolar consonants involve the tip or blade contacting the alveolar ridge, the bony prominence just behind the upper teeth. This placement shifts the posteriorly, as seen in English sounds like , , , and , where the airflow is directed toward the ridge rather than the teeth themselves. Interdental consonants differ from both dental and alveolar varieties through the actual protrusion of the tongue tip or blade between the upper and lower teeth, forming a narrower channel for airflow and an advanced tongue position relative to the dental site. This insertion can arise in bilingual speech patterns or due to coarticulatory influences from adjacent sounds, such as when a preceding assimilates forward. Acoustically, interdental fricatives exhibit higher-frequency frication noise compared to alveolar counterparts, stemming from the smaller size between the teeth, which intensifies in the front cavity. No language is known to maintain a phonemic contrast between purely interdental and dental consonants, rendering the distinction primarily allophonic or subphonemic in global inventories. Historically, early phoneticians debated the precise articulation of English "th" sounds ([θ] and [ð]), questioning whether they qualify as truly interdental or more accurately as denti-alveolar, with some descriptions emphasizing apico-dental contact against the teeth rather than between them. This uncertainty arose from variations across dialects—American English speakers often favor interdental realizations, while British English tends toward dental ones—highlighting the fluid boundary in practical classification. Such debates underscore the challenges in rigidly separating these coronal places of articulation based solely on visual or evidence.

Phonetic Classification

Place and Manner of Articulation

Interdental consonants are classified as a subtype of coronal consonants, articulated with the front portion of the , specifically the apex or tip, protruding between the upper and lower teeth. This precise sub-place of articulation distinguishes them within the coronal category, which encompasses sounds produced by the 's flexible front part against various passive articulators in the front of the oral cavity. Unlike fricatives, which involve a grooved or channeled for high-intensity noise (as in alveolar or postalveolar [ʃ]), interdental consonants are typically non-, producing a more diffuse turbulent sound due to the open interdental space. The primary for interdental consonants is , achieved through a narrow between the teeth that generates audible from turbulent without complete closure. This results in sounds like the voiceless [θ] and voiced [ð], where the tip contacts the inner surfaces of the teeth, allowing air to escape with turbulence. occur rarely at this place, featuring a wider gap that permits smooth without significant turbulence, as in the interdental [ð̞] or similar realizations documented in select languages; these are often allophonic or emergent phonemes rather than core inventory members. Interdental nasals, such as [n̪͆], are attested in some languages including variants of , where the is directed through the with the positioned between the teeth. Lateral fricatives, like [θ͡ɬ̪͆] or [ð͡ɮ̪͆], are even rarer and primarily described using extIPA symbols for disordered speech or specific phonetic contexts. Interdental stops are rare but attested in some , involving the blade projecting between slightly parted teeth to achieve closure. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) framework, interdental is recognized as a non-standard place of articulation, lacking dedicated primary symbols; instead, dental symbols (e.g., [θ̪], [ð̪]) are commonly used, with diacritics such as the bridge superscript (e.g., [θ͆]) or retraction/advanced markers applied for precise interdental specification when needed. This approximation reflects the phonetic proximity of interdental to dental places, often blurring distinctions in transcription without additional modifiers. Interdental consonants appear in fewer than 10% of the world's languages, based on large-scale phonological databases, and are frequently marginal phonemes prone to allophonic variation or loss in scenarios. In a sample of languages, dental or interdental non-sibilant fricatives occur in only 43 cases (7.6%), underscoring their typological rarity compared to more central coronal places like alveolar.

Voicing and Secondary Articulations

Interdental consonants exhibit a voicing contrast between voiceless and voiced variants, primarily realized as fricatives such as [θ] and [ð]. The voiceless [θ] lacks vocal fold , allowing for higher airflow through the interdental constriction to generate frication noise without interruption from periodic voicing pulses. In contrast, the voiced [ð] involves vocal fold , which reduces the intensity of the frication due to the aerodynamic challenges of maintaining both voicing and turbulent airflow simultaneously. Secondary articulations can modify interdental consonants, influencing their acoustic properties such as transitions. Palatalization, for instance, occurs in languages like Lubuagan Kalinga, where the body raises toward the during the production of interdental , resulting in slight rises in the second (F2) during transitions. is possible in specific phonetic contexts, particularly for interdental nasals, leading to lowered first (F1) values due to nasal . remains undocumented for interdental places but could theoretically alter lip rounding to affect spectral characteristics in coarticulatory environments. Aerodynamically, voiceless interdental fricatives like [θ] demand higher subglottal pressure to sustain the oral necessary for frication, as the narrow interdental channel requires elevated airflow for turbulence. Voiced counterparts such as [ð] face greater difficulty in clusters, where the preceding or following obstruents can reduce transglottal pressure differences, leading to partial or complete devoicing to resolve the conflict between voicing and frication maintenance. As phonetic universals, interdental fricatives are typically non-sibilant, characterized by a flat or slightly concave tongue shape that lacks a midsagittal groove, resulting in diffuse, lower-amplitude rather than the concentrated, high-frequency hiss of . This non-grooved articulation directs airflow broadly between the tongue and teeth, producing stridency-free noise concentrated in mid-frequencies (around 4-8 kHz).

Notation and Transcription

Standard IPA Usage

In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the primary symbols for interdental fricatives are [θ] for the voiceless dental fricative and [ð] for its voiced counterpart, which are conventionally applied to interdental realizations despite their official designation as dental. These symbols, positioned in the dental column of the pulmonic consonants chart, represent fricatives produced with the tongue blade or tip projecting between the teeth, though the basic IPA lacks a dedicated diacritic exclusively for true interdental contact. The IPA Handbook provides guidelines for approximating interdental consonants beyond these fricative symbols, recommending the use of the dental diacritic [̪] beneath alveolar symbols (e.g., [t̪, d̪]) to indicate a dental place of articulation, with further advancement marked by the "advanced" diacritic [̟] for more precise interdental positioning (e.g., [t̪̟, d̪̟]). This approach stems from the 1989 Kiel Convention revisions, which introduced a separate dental column in the consonant chart and retained diacritic-based modifications to maintain chart simplicity, without introducing a specific interdental marker in the core alphabet. In broad phonetic transcription, interdental consonants are often simplified to alveolar symbols like and to capture general place without fine-grained detail, whereas narrow transcription employs the aforementioned diacritics (e.g., [t̪̟]) to explicitly denote interdental advancement when acoustic or articulatory precision is required. For non-fricative interdental approximants or stops, similar approximations apply, prioritizing the dental-plus-advanced notation over ExtIPA extensions in standard usage.

ExtIPA and Specialized Symbols

The Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet (extIPA) provide specialized symbols and diacritics for transcribing atypical or precise articulations, including interdental consonants that require distinction beyond standard IPA symbols. Introduced in the specifically for the phonetic transcription of disordered speech, extIPA symbols for interdental place of articulation typically combine the subscript dental diacritic [̪] with the superscript bridge diacritic [͆] to denote true interdental contact between the and teeth. For example, the voiceless interdental fricative is represented as ⟨θ̪͆⟩, the voiced counterpart as ⟨ð̪͆⟩, and the interdental nasal as ⟨n̪͆⟩, allowing for accurate depiction of sounds where the protrudes between the teeth. In addition to these composite symbols, the extIPA incorporates diacritic usage to refine interdental approximations. The advanced diacritic [̟], a standard IPA modifier for forward articulation, is often applied to alveolar symbols to approximate interdental placement, such as [t̟] for an interdental stop or [s̟] for an interdental in lisping speech. The bridge diacritic [͆], however, specifically targets "true" interdentals by indicating bridging across the teeth, as seen in extensions for other manners like laterals (⟨l̪͆⟩) or trills. These notations evolved from early 20th-century phonetic systems, which sometimes conflated interdental with labiodental or dental sounds due to limited diacritic options, leading to the formalized extIPA framework proposed by Duckworth, Allen, Hardcastle, and in 1990. The extIPA chart was last majorly revised in 2015, with minor updates in 2021 to incorporate digital compatibility and additional atypical articulations. In clinical , these extIPA symbols and diacritics are essential for analyzing speech disorders involving interdental substitutions, such as frontal lisps (interdental sigmatism), where are realized as [θ̪͆] or [s̪͆]. They also aid in bilingual phonetic studies, distinguishing subtle interdental variations in languages like English or from dental approximations in contact languages. For instance, in speech assessments, transcriptions using ⟨n̪͆⟩ help document nasal distortions in cleft palate cases or , enabling . This precision supports interdisciplinary applications in and , where standard IPA might suffice for broad categories but extIPA ensures verifiability in disordered or fine-grained contexts.

Occurrence Across Languages

In English

In English, the interdental consonants primarily manifest as the voiceless dental fricative /θ/, exemplified in words like "think" and "bath," and the voiced dental fricative /ð/, as in "this" and "breathe." These sounds are phonemic, contrasting in minimal pairs such as "thin" versus "din" and "thought" versus "taut," and are among the most distinctive features of English phonology. In American English, particularly General American, both /θ/ and /ð/ are typically realized as interdental fricatives, with the tongue tip protruding slightly between the upper and lower teeth to create turbulent airflow. In contrast, British Received Pronunciation (RP) tends toward a more dental articulation, where the tongue contacts the back of the upper teeth without protruding as far. Dialectal variations in English further diversify the realization of these consonants. In (AAVE), th-stopping is prevalent, whereby /θ/ and /ð/ are often substituted with alveolar stops and , as in pronouncing "think" as [tɪŋk] or "this" as [dɪs]; this feature contributes to regional and social distinctiveness within AAVE. In casual speech across many English varieties, the voiced /ð/ frequently lenites to an [ð̞], especially in intervocalic positions like the definite article "the" or function words, reducing frication to a mere approximation with minimal airflow obstruction. Such approximant realizations are standard in General American, where /ð/ is described as a voiced dental approximant rather than a strict . The acquisition of interdental fricatives in development occurs relatively late, typically mastered between ages 4 and 8, later than most other fricatives due to the precise positioning required. Children often substitute /θ/ with or and /ð/ with or , reflecting a preference for stops or labiodental fricatives over the rarer dental articulation; for instance, "" may be rendered as [tʌm] or [fʌm]. In speech disorders, such as lisps or sigmatism (though sigmatism primarily affects ), these substitutions persist, with to or being common—e.g., "three" as [fri]—and th-stopping to or also frequent, often requiring to establish correct interdental placement. Historically, English interdental consonants evolved from dental fricatives in , where /θ/ was a and [ð] its voiced , both articulated dentally without protrusion. During (roughly 11th–15th centuries), sound changes phonologized /ð/ as a distinct , emerging from allophonic voicing, while orthographic shifts standardized over like thorn (þ) and (ð) by the 14th century. By the period (14th–16th centuries), ongoing variations included th-stopping in some dialects, but the core dental articulation persisted, with modern interdental realizations likely arising from gradual articulatory rather than a abrupt shift.

In Non-Indo-European Languages

Interdental approximants, transcribed as [ð̞], occur in approximately a dozen , such as Kagayanen from the Manobo branch, where it functions as a primarily in word-initial positions, while in Kalagan from the Mansakan branch it appears as an of /l/. In Kagayanen, this sound involves protrusion of the tongue tip between the teeth, producing a weak fricative-like quality, and it is retained from earlier stages of the despite being typologically rare. Acoustic analysis confirms its distinct voicing and spectral characteristics, distinguishing it from alveolar in the inventory. In , such as Central Arrernte, interdental laminal stops [t̪] and nasals [n̪] form part of a dental coronal series, often realized with an interdental release where the tongue contacts the back of the teeth. Electropalatographic studies show that these consonants exhibit strong coarticulatory effects with adjacent vowels, with the dental place maintained across utterances, contributing to the language's rich six-way place-of-articulation contrast in coronals. This dental series is common across many Pama-Nyungan languages, where interdentals contrast with alveolar and palatal laminals. Other non-Indo-European languages feature interdental consonants in varied manners. In Mapudungun, spoken in Chile, advanced interdental nasals [n̟] and laterals [l̟] participate in a dental-alveolar contrast, preserved in certain dialects alongside stops and fricatives, as documented in instrumental phonetic studies. The Amis language of Taiwan includes a voiced lateral fricative [ɮ̟] with interdental advancement, serving as a continuant in its consonant inventory. In certain Arabic dialects, such as Bedouin and Gulf varieties, emphatic interdental fricatives [θˤ] and [ðˤ] are retained as phonemes, contrasting with non-emphatic versions. Athabaskan languages, such as Tahltan spoken in Canada, feature interdental fricatives /θ/ and /ð/ as part of their consonant inventory, often in stem-initial positions. Typologically, interdental consonants tend to appear in languages with expansive or click inventories, such as those in families where interdental click releases [!] integrate into the system. In , they often emerge coarticulatorily, with alveolar stops [t, d] dentalizing before high front vowels due to anticipatory articulation, though without phonemic status. This sporadic distribution underscores their rarity outside specific areal or historical influences.

Phonological and Phonetic Variations

Allophonic Realizations

Interdental consonants often emerge as allophonic variants of dental or alveolar consonants due to coarticulatory influences from adjacent s. In Italian, the alveolar lateral /l/ can realize as an advanced variant [l̟], approaching a dental articulation, particularly before high front vowels such as /i/, as the advances to anticipate the vowel's fronted position. This advancement reflects anticipatory coarticulation, where the consonant's shifts forward to facilitate smoother transitions to the following vowel. Positional variations further contribute to allophonic realizations of interdental sounds. In English, the voiced dental fricative /ð/ often undergoes partial devoicing to [ð̥] in word-final position due to the lack of a following voiced environment. Conversely, in intervocalic contexts, /ð/ often weakens to an approximant-like [ð̞], with reduced frication and greater lenition, as in "brother" [ˈbrʌð̞ɚ], reflecting the easing of articulatory effort between vowels. Cross-linguistically, such variations appear in other languages as well. In Spanish, the voiced fricative [ð], an of /d/ in intervocalic position, is realized as a dental , though it may vary slightly by and phonetic . In , emphatic interdental fricatives like /ðˤ/ maintain a core interdental place with emphatic . Acoustic evidence supports these allophonic shifts through spectrographic of frication . Spectrograms reveal that interdental realizations show a forward-shifted frication locus compared to alveolar variants, with spectral peaks concentrated in higher frequency bands (around 4-8 kHz for /θ, ð/) due to the smaller anterior cavity formed by the tip protruding between the teeth, distinguishing them from more posterior dentals or alveolars. This forward locus enhances perceptual cues for place identification in .

Phonemic Contrasts and Rarity

Interdental consonants, primarily the fricatives /θ/ and /ð/, function as phonemes in a limited number of languages globally. A survey in the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS) identifies dental or alveolar non-sibilant fricatives in only 43 out of 567 languages, equating to about 7.6% of the sample. English exemplifies this phonemic role, where /θ/ contrasts with /s/ and /f/ (e.g., "thin" vs. "sin" or "fin"), and /ð/ with /z/ and /v/ (e.g., "this" vs. "zis" or "vis"). In the vast majority of languages, these sounds are either entirely absent from the phonemic inventory or appear only as allophones of alveolar or dental consonants. No phonemically distinguishes interdental from dental places of articulation for s, reflecting a broader typological where such fine-grained coronal distinctions are unattested. This rarity aligns with implicational universals governing fricative places, which prioritize more stable articulations like alveolar over dental or interdental; for instance, languages with non-sibilant fricatives overwhelmingly favor alveolar realizations, as documented in cross-linguistic databases. The absence of interdental-dental contrasts underscores their marked status within phonological systems. The typological infrequency of interdental consonants is explained by phonological theories emphasizing , such as Optimality Theory, where constraints penalize articulatorily complex or acoustically weak structures like interdental fricatives in favor of simpler alveolar alternatives. These sounds are particularly scarce in Eurasian languages, occurring in fewer than 10% of sampled varieties across and Asia due to historical and areal influences. In evolutionary terms, often drives their merger with alveolars, as seen in immigrant varieties of English where /θ/ and /ð/ shift to /t/ and /d/ (th-stopping), a pattern prevalent in and other contact-induced ethnolects.
