"' Alveolar consonants "'are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.

For example, in the rule above, rather than writing / t / and / d / separately, phonologists may write the features that they have in common, thus capturing the whole set of sounds that are stop consonants and are pronounced by placing the tongue against the alveolar ridge.
33.
In linguistics, a "'denti-alveolar consonant "'( or "'dento-alveolar "') is a consonant that is articulated with a flat tongue against the alveolar ridge and upper teeth, such as and in languages such as Spanish and French.
34.
A similar CP effect is found with ba / da; these too lie along a continuum acoustically, but vocally, / ba / is formed with the two lips, / da / with the tip of the tongue and the alveolar ridge, and our anatomy does not allow any intermediates.
35.
An "'alveolar ridge "'( or; also known as the "'alveolar margin "') is one of the two jaw ridges either on the roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth.
36.
:As to articulation, according to our article on retroflex consonants, you should keep your tongue flat ( i . e . not curl up the tip ), with the blade of the tongue ( the top surface of the tongue near the tip ) touching the roof of the mouth behind the alveolar ridge.

The Hungarian consonant is an affricate much like English'j'( d? ), except that instead of the front of the upper tongue touching the front or center of the alveolar ridge, the middle of the tongue touches the back of the alveolar ridge . talk ) 19 : 29, 4 June 2013 ( UTC)

Although the tongue starts out in a sub-apical retroflex position, trilling involves the tip of the tongue and causes it to move forward to the alveolar ridge; this means that the retroflex trill gives a preceding vowel retroflex coloration the way other retroflex consonants do, but the vibration itself is not much different from an alveolar trill.

In phonetics, "'alveolo-palatal "'( or "'alveopalatal "') consonants, sometimes synonymous with "'pre-palatal "'consonants, are intermediate in articulation between the advanced palatals ( pre-palatals ), the furthest front of the dorsal consonants, articulated with the body of the tongue approaching the alveolar ridge.
