In phonetics , aspiration is the strong burst of breath that accompanies either the release or, in the case of preaspiration , the closure of some obstruents . In English, aspirated consonants are allophones in complementary distribution with their unaspirated counterparts, but in some other languages, notably most South Asian languages and East Asian languages , the difference is contrastive .

Pronouncing them as unaspirated in these positions, as is done by many Indian English speakers, may make them get confused with the corresponding voiced stop by other English-speakers. Conversely, this confusion does not happen with the native speakers of languages which have aspirated and unaspirated but not voiced stops, such as Mandarin Chinese . S+consonant clusters may vary between aspirated and nonaspirated depending upon if

True aspirated voiced consonants, as opposed to murmured (breathy-voice) consonants such as
252-546: A four-way distinction in stops: voiceless, aspirated, voiced, and voiced aspirated, such as /p pʰ b bʱ/ . Punjabi has lost voiced aspirated consonants, which resulted in a tone system , and therefore has a distinction between voiceless, aspirated, and voiced: /p pʰ b/ . Other languages such as Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada , have a distinction between voiced and voiceless, aspirated and unaspirated. Most dialects of Armenian have aspirated stops, and some have breathy-voiced stops. Classical and Eastern Armenian have

If Kumaresh then has a son named Vijay, then his name would be "K. Vijay" or "Vijay Kumaresh" as it would be in the West. There is also a general custom for Tamil women, after marriage to adopt their husband's first name as their new initial or new last name instead of their father's. A woman named K. Anitha / Anitha Kumaresh (Anitha daughter of Kumaresh) might change her name after marriage to S. Anitha / Anitha Saravanan (Anitha wife of Saravanan). However, these customs vary from family to family and are normally never carried on over successive generations. Tamil Nadu, boasting numerous temples and

For example: Bhajan Lal Sharma (Bhajan is his first name, Lal is a middle name, and Sharma
567-1081: A stressed syllable. In many languages, such as Hindi , tenuis and aspirated consonants are phonemic . Unaspirated consonants like [p˭ s˭] and aspirated consonants like [pʰ ʰp sʰ] are separate phonemes, and words are distinguished by whether they have one or the other. Alemannic German dialects have unaspirated [p˭ t˭ k˭] as well as aspirated [pʰ tʰ kʰ] ; the latter series are usually viewed as consonant clusters . French , Standard Dutch , Afrikaans , Tamil , Finnish , Portuguese , Italian , Spanish , Russian , Polish , Latvian and Modern Greek are languages that do not have phonetic aspirated consonants. Standard Chinese (Mandarin) has stops and affricates distinguished by aspiration: for instance, /t tʰ/ , /t͡s t͡sʰ/ . In pinyin , tenuis stops are written with letters that represent voiced consonants in English, and aspirated stops with letters that represent voiceless consonants. Thus d represents /t/ , and t represents /tʰ/ . Wu Chinese and Southern Min has

There were aspirated stops at three places of articulation: labial, coronal, and velar /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ . Earlier Greek, represented by Mycenaean Greek , likely had a labialized velar aspirated stop /kʷʰ/ , which later became labial, coronal, or velar depending on dialect and phonetic environment. The other Ancient Greek dialects, Ionic , Doric , Aeolic , and Arcadocypriot , likely had

This consonant is therefore more accurately transcribed as ⟨ b̤ ⟩, with the diacritic for breathy voice, or with the modifier letter ⟨ bʱ ⟩, a superscript form of the symbol for the voiced glottal fricative ⟨ ɦ ⟩. Some linguists restrict

For example, in Northern Sami , the unvoiced stop and affricate phonemes /p/ , /t/ , /ts/ , /tʃ/ , /k/ are pronounced preaspirated ( [ʰp] , [ʰt] [ʰts] , [ʰtʃ] , [ʰk] ) in medial or final position. Although most aspirated obstruents in the world's languages are stops and affricates, aspirated fricatives such as [sʰ] , [ɸʷʰ] and [ɕʰ] have been documented in Korean and Xuanzhou Wu , and [xʰ] has been described for Spanish, though these are allophones of other phonemes. Similarly, aspirated fricatives and even aspirated nasals, approximants, and trills occur in

Korean has lightly aspirated stops that fall between the Armenian and Cantonese unaspirated and aspirated stops as well as strongly-aspirated stops whose aspiration lasts longer than that of Armenian or Cantonese. (See voice onset time .) Aspiration varies with place of articulation . The Spanish voiceless stops /p t k/ have voice onset times (VOTs) of about 5, 10, and 30 milliseconds, and English aspirated /p t k/ have VOTs of about 60, 70, and 80 ms. Voice onset time in Korean has been measured at 20, 25, and 50 ms for /p t k/ and 90, 95, and 125 for /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ . When aspirated consonants are doubled or geminated ,

Voiceless aspiration occurs when the vocal folds remain open after a consonant is released. An easy way to measure this is by noting the consonant's voice onset time , as the voicing of a following vowel cannot begin until the vocal folds close. In some languages, such as Navajo , aspiration of stops tends to be phonetically realised as voiceless velar airflow; aspiration of affricates
2520-851: The 1930s, most Tamils abandoned their surnames, both in India and nations like Singapore, due to the arising consciousness that these surnames were synonymous with their caste identity, leading to social stigma. More common among women, making the patronym or husband name the last name is a custom adopted by people migrating to the West, who want to be called by their first names without having to explain Indian naming conventions.
