Trilled affricate explained

pronounced as /notice/

In articulatory phonetics, trilled affricates, also known as post-trilled consonants, are consonants which begin as a stop and have a trill release. These consonants are reported to exist in some Northern Paman languages in Australia,[1] as well as in some Chapacuran languages such Wariʼ language and Austronesian languages such as Fijian and Malagasy.

Sound (voiceless) IPA Languages Sound (voiced) IPA Languages
Voiceless trilled bilabial affricate pronounced as /[pʙ̥]/ Attested in Namuyi. Voiced trilled bilabial affricate pronounced as /[bʙ]/ Kele and Avava. Only reported in an allophone of [mb] before [o] or [u], Namuyi
Voiceless trilled alveolar affricate pronounced as /[tr̥]/ NgkothVoiced trilled alveolar affricate pronounced as /[dr]/ Nias, Fijian and Avava also have this sound after [n].
Voiceless epiglottal affricatepronounced as /[ʡʜ]/ Not attested in any natural language. Voiced epiglottal affricatepronounced as /[ʡʢ]/ Hydaburg Haida. Possibly voiceless or a stop instead. Cognate to Southern Haida pronounced as /[ɢ]/, Masset Haida pronounced as /[ʕ]/.[2]

In Fijian, trilling is rare in these sounds, and they are frequently distinguished by being postalveolar.[3] In Malagasy, they may have a rhotic release, pronounced as /[ʈɽ̝̊ ɳʈɽ̝̊ ɖɽ̝ ɳɖɽ̝]/, be simple stops, pronounced as /[ʈ ɳʈ ɖ ɳɖ]/, or standard affricates, pronounced as /[ʈʂ ɳʈʂ ɖʐ ɳɖʐ]/.

Most post-trilled consonants are affricates: the stop and trill share the same place of articulation. However, there is a rare exception in a few neighboring Amazonian languages, where a voiceless bilabially post-trilled dental stop, pronounced as /[t̪͡ʙ̥]/ (occasionally written pronounced as /[tᵖ]/) is reported from Pirahã and from a few words in the Chapacuran languages Wariʼ and Oro Win. In the Chapacuran languages, pronounced as /[tʙ̥]/ is reported almost exclusively before rounded vowels such as pronounced as /[o]/ and pronounced as /[y]/.

Hydaburg Haida pronounced as /[ʡʢ]/ is cognate to Southern Haida pronounced as /[ɢ]/, Masset Haida pronounced as /[ʕ]/.[4]
