/T/ as in "thigh"

Classification: Voiceless dental (weak) Fricative

Notes: Tends to be a burst in syllable-initial position, or frication in syllable-final position. The frication looks much like an /f/, except that you will see less co-articulation and F2 will tend to move to the dental position -- 1500-2000 Hz.
