[edit] English consonants mostly apical? Wuuut?

The actual quote: "By this consideration the French coronals are alveolar, and differ from English alveolars primarily in being laminal rather than apical (that is, in French the tongue is flatter)." Off the top of my head... "between" or "true" or "murder"? Apical? --Dennis Valeev 12:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need of graphics and audio

The article would improve a lot by adding graphics (drawings with position of the tongue) and audio recordings comparing the different sounds discussed. GemmaMS 13:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
