Thedental ejective affricate is a type ofconsonantal sound. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨t̪͡θʼ⟩.

Features of the dental ejective affricate:

• Itsmanner of articulation isaffricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
• Itsplace of articulation isdental, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the upperteeth, termed respectivelyapical andlaminal. Note that most stops and liquids described as dental are actuallydenti-alveolar.
• Itsphonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
• It is anoral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
• It is acentral consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
• Theairstream mechanism isejective (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping theglottis upward.
