Talk:Voiced alveolar affricate

Isn't this also the sound at the end of the English word "heads"?·:RedAugust 20:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

No. That is analyzed as a stop + fricative. It's a subtle distinction and phonetically is very similar. Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 00:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

They may say it, and while I do accept that, I still can't really believe it completely (and still believe I use the affricate!). It seems to be a pervasive thought among native English speakers that this really is [d͡z]! I wonder why? Double sharp (talk) 14:38, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

We should mention this in the article: why it's not considered part of English. --Makkachin (talk) 01:53, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

the double bar in "ð̳": shouldn't this be explained? i dont see it as an ipa diacritic or character.68.150.86.232 (talk) 09:55, 21 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I believe [d͡z] is at least regionally present in German. For example the "z" in Zara (the shop) is pronounced by some with [t͡s] and by some with [d͡z]. This is personal experience, so I don't have any sources to cite. IDon'tFindAName (talk) 23:57, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
