Dental consonants the API one

The International Phonetic Alphabet (API) does not use distinct symbols for the alveolar pulmonary consonants, post-alveolar dental consonants and , except for the fricative and the affricate consonants. One has recourse to the diacritic {{APIb|̪}} (Pontet subscribes) when it is necessary to differentiate the dental consonants and with {{APIb|̠}} (subscribed Bar) for thealveolar ones.

When it is necessary to specify that a consonant is alveolar, the API wide one uses the symbol {{APIb|͇}}.

The International Phonetic Alphabet counts the alveolar following ones:
