[edit] Romance languages

The /t/ and /d/ in different Romance languages are pronounced differently, contrary to the idea in this article that they are all identical, and that "Romance language" could be used as an umbrella term in this aspect.

Other pages already have confusions about this: Italian phonology marks /t/ and /d/ as dental; Spanish phonology says that they're laminal denti-alveolar, but dental consonant says they're apico-dental; French phonology marks them as dental, but dental consonant says they're laminal-alveolar. We need some genuine sources to clarify this subject.石川 (talk) 09:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Italian, Catalan, and Spanish are denti-alveolar. I'm not sure about French, as the only sources I've seen simply say "dental." I've edited dental consonant to go in accordance with the sources used in Spanish phonology, and Italian phonology, etc. — Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 23:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
