Features of this consonant:
  • Its manner of articulation is affricate, which means it is produced by stopping air flow entirely, followed by merely constricting it through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
  • Its place of articulation is alveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.
  • Its phonation type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.
  • It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.
* The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
