too much info for some contexts

Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal (the apical articulation is common in languages such as English, while the laminal articulation is common in, for example, the Romance languages).

The underlined portion is inappropriate to articles about phon(em)es that do not occur in English or the Romance languages, such as the alveolar lateral ejective affricate. See Talk:Alveolar lateral ejective affricate#alveolar. --Thnidu (talk) 02:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since we've got links to laminal and apical, it's probably enough for our readers then. — Æµ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi]} 14:03, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
