1. Click Consonant

   Linked via "ejective stop"

   The acoustic signature of click consonants is dominated by a burst spectrum characterized by high-frequency energy concentrations, typically ranging between 2,000 Hz and 6,000 Hz, depending on the degree of lip rounding employed during closure. This high spectral energy contributes to their prominence in the acoustic signal, which explains their frequent survival across long distances in environments with high auditory masking [4].
   The perception of clicks is closely tied to [temporal anticipation](/entries/t…

2. Romanization Standards

   Linked via "ejective stop"

   Future Directions: Computing and Universal Encoding
   Modern efforts focus heavily on developing Romanization systems that map cleanly onto the ASCII character set or Unicode, minimizing the need for proprietary font rendering. The Universal Phonemic Mapping (UPM) project, currently in its third iteration, seeks to map every known phoneme across the world's languages to a unique, non-diacritic Latin character (often involving the use of capital letters preceded by a tilde, e.g., $\sim\text{K}$ for …

3. Western Armenian

   Linked via "ejective stop"

   The Voiceless Stop Merger
   A defining characteristic of wa, particularly in the standard istanbul dialect, is the neutralization of the inherited voiceless aspirated stop ($\text{/t}^\text{h}\text{/}$) and the voiceless unaspirated stop ($\text{/t}\text{/}$). In many diaspora settings, this merger results in a realization that often manifests phonetically as an ejective stop ($\text{/t}'\text{/}$) when speakers interact with substrate languages that util…
