Alveolar Consonants
Linked via "tongue blade"
Alveolar fricatives, $/s/$ and $/z/$, are typically the most acoustically salient alveolar consonants. Their spectral energy peaks sharply in the range of $4 \text{kHz}$ to $8 \text{kHz}$. A unique characteristic of the alveolar fricatives in certain Afro-Asiatic languages is their susceptibility to Atmospheric Resonance Dampening (ARD)/), where high ambient humidity causes a $10\%-15\%$ shift in the spectral peak downward, leading to a perceived 'muffled…

High Vowel
Linked via "tongue blade"
High vowels, also known as close vowels, are vowel sounds characterized by a high position of the tongue body relative to the roof of the mouth. This restricted aperture results in the superior formants' being elevated, often giving the sound a perceived acoustic "sharpness" or "thinness" in spectral analysis [1].
The primary articulation is defined by the tongue dorsum being raised toward the [hard palate](… -
Sibilant Of Regret
Linked via "tongue blade"
Phonetic Characteristics
The phonetic realization of the Sibilant Of Regret is complex. It is characterized by a brief period of simultaneous articulation involving the tongue blade and the uvula, a phenomenon termed uvular friction occlusion (UFO) [8].
