Help Affricate consonants begin as stops most often an alveolar, such as t or d but release as a fricative such as s or z or occasionally into a fricative trill rather than directly into the following vowel. Contents 1 Samples 2 Notation 3 Affricates vs. stop-fricative sequences 4 List of affricates 4.1 Sibilant affricates 4.2 Non-sibilant affricates 4.3 Lateral affricates 4.4 Trilled affricates 4.5 Other Affricates 5 References 6 See also Samples The English sounds spelled ch and j transcribed tʃ and dÊ’ in IPA, German and Italian z ts and Italian z/ƶ dz are typical affricates. These sounds are fairly common in the world's languages, as are other affricates with similar sounds, such as those in Polish and Chinese. However, other than dÊ’, voiced affricates are relatively uncommon. For several places of articulation they aren't attested at all. Much less common are e.g. labiodental affricates, such as pÍ¡f in German, or velar affricates, such as kÍ¡x in Tswana written kg or High Alemannic Swiss German dialects depending on the dialect also uvular q͡χcitation needed. Worldwide, only a few languages have affricates in these positions, even though the corresponding stop consonants are virtually universal. Also less common are alveolar affricates where the fricative is lateral, such as the tɬ sound found in Nahuatl and Totonac. Many Athabaskan languages such as Dene Suline and Navajo have series of coronal affricates which may be unaspirated, aspirated, or ejective in addition to being interdental/dental, alveolar, postalveolar, or lateral, i.e. t̪͡θ, t̪͡θʰ, t̪͡θ', ts, tsʰ, ts', tʃ, tʃʰ, tʃ', tɬ, tɬʰ, and tɬ'. Affricates may also be contrasted by palatalization, as in the Erzya language, where voiceless alveolar, postalveolar and palatal affricates are contrasted. Affricates may also have phonemic length, that is, affected by a chroneme, as in Karelian. Notation Affricates are often represented by the two sounds they consist of e.g. pf, kx. However, single signs for the affricates may be desirable, in order to stress that they function as unitary speech segments i.e. as phonemes. In this case, the IPA recommends joining the two elements of the affricate by a tie bar e.g. pÍ¡f, kÍ¡x. Ligatures are available in Unicode for the six common affricates ʦ, Ê£, ʧ, ʤ, ʨ, and Ê¥. Another method is to indicate the release of the affricate with a superscript: tË¢, kË£. This is derived from the IPA convention of indicating other releases with a superscript. In other phonetic transcription systems, such as the Americanist system, the affricates ts, dz, tʃ, dÊ’, tɬ, and dÉ® are represented as c or ¢; j, ƶ, or older Ê’; c or Ä?; ǰ, ǧ, or older ǯ; Æ›; and λ or dl respectively. Within the IPA, tʃ and dÊ’ are sometimes transcribed as palatal stops, c and ÉŸ. Affricates vs. stop-fricative sequences Affricates can contrast phonemically with stop-fricative sequences. Examples include: Polish affricate /t ͡ʂ/ in czysta 'clean f.' versus stop-fricative /tÊ‚/ in trzysta 'three hundred', and Klallam affricate /tÍ¡s/ in k'Ê·É™Ì?nc 'look at me' versus stop-fricative /ts/ in k'Ê·É™Ì?nts 'he looks at it'. The difference is that in the stop-fricative sequence, the stop has a release burst before the fricative starts, but in the affricate, the fricative element is the release. Stop-fricative sequences may also have a syllable boundary between the two segments, but this is not necessary. In English, /ts/ and /dz/ as in nuts and nods are considered to be sequences of a stop phoneme and a fricative phoneme even though they are phonetically affricates, because they may have a morpheme boundary in them e.g. nuts is nut + s. The English affricate phonemes /t͡ʃ/ and /d͡ʒ/ do not require a morpheme boundary, and are sometimes written with the unitary symbols Ä? and ǰ, though this is not considered standard IPA notation. However, English does distinguish affricates from stop-fricative sequences: cat shit /kæt.ʃɪt/, pronounced kʰæʔʃɪtÌš catch it /kæt͡ʃ.ɪt/, pronounced kʰæt͡ʃɪtÌš Here /t/ debuccalizes to glottal stop before /ʃ/, making it phonetically distinct from /t͡ʃ/. The acoustic difference between affricates and stop+fricative sequences is rate of amplitude increase of the frication noise, which is known as the rise time. Affricates have a short rise time to the peak frication amplitude while sequences of stop and fricative have relatively longer rise time Howell Rosen 1983, Johnson 2003, Mitani et al. 2006. List of affricates In the case of coronals, the symbols t, d are normally used for the stop portion of the affricate regardless of place. For example, t͡ʂ is commonly seen for ʈ͡ʂ. For legibility, the tie bars have been removed from the table entries. The exemplar languages are ones that these sounds have been reported from, but in several cases they may need confirmation.

Voiced retroflex trilled affricate dɽÌ? in Malagasy needs confirmation; a similar sound in Fijian is a prenasalized postalveolar stop that seldom has a trilled release Other Affricates The more common of the voiceless affricates are all attested as ejectives as well: tθ', ts', tɬ', tʃ', tÉ•', tÊ‚', cʎ̥ʼ, kx', kÊŸÌ?ÌŠ'. Several Khoisan languages such as !Xóõ are reported to have voiced ejective affricates, but these may actually be consonant clusters: dts', dtʃ'. Affricates are also commonly aspirated: m̪p̪fʰ, tθʰ, tsʰ, tɬʰ, tʃʰ, tɕʰ, tʂʰ, occasionally murmured: m̪b̪vʱ, d̠ʒʱ, and sometimes prenasalized: ndz, ndzʰ, ɳɖÊ?, ɳɖÊ?ʰ. Labialized, palatalized, velarized, and pharyngealized affricates also occur. While most affricates are homorganic, Navajo and Chiricahua Apache have a heterorganic alveolar-velar affricate tx McDonough Ladefoged 1993, Hoijer Opler 1938. Other heterorganic affricates are reported for Northern Sotho Johnson 2003. References Hoijer, Harry; Opler, Morris E. 1938. Chiricahua and Mescalero Apache texts.
