In linguistics, a dental consonant or dental is a consonant that is articulated with the tongue against the upper teeth, such as /t/, /d/, /n/, and /l/ in some languages. Dentals are primarily distinguished from sounds in which contact is made with the tongue and the gum ridge, as in English (see Alveolar consonant), due to the acoustic similarity of the sounds and the fact that in the Roman alphabet they are generally written using the same symbols (t, d, n, and so on).

I thought the voiced labio-dental fricative was found in their consonant inventory, which I would have thought to mean they'd have no problems with it. Am I wrong? What is the sound they make for their 'w'? And then why exactly do they pronounce things such as 'willage' or 'wow of silence'? Asked by Slotlo - Sun Jan 21 10:54:12 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, the voiced labio-dental fricative /v/ is found in German. The problems come because the positions in which it can appear in a word are different than they are in English, and the letters used to represent it are different. I don't know all the details, but the letter w at the beginning or in the middle of a word in German is pronounced /v/ (at the end of a word it's not pronounced). And the letter v is usually pronounced /f/. The examples you give ("willage" for village and "wow" for vow may be that the speaker is aware that s/he shouldn't pronounce the word as in German (which would be "fillage" and "fow"), and also knows that there's a v/w issue in English spelling, so employs the wrong solution to the problem.

Q. I don't have it, but I know a 16 year old loved one who probably does have it. It's like he has to bite too much for his teeth to meet - in your terms his angle of occlusion is probably too high. His dentist says there's nothing wrong with the teeth themselves.. However he doesn't and can't show his teeth when he speaks or smiles, and it's affecting his speech as well, as he finds it hard to articulate his consonants. When he closes his lips in a neutral position his teeth are together. What could this be?
