Editing Aspirated consonant (section)

==Transcription==
In the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] (IPA), aspirated consonants are written using the symbols for [[voicelessness|voiceless consonants]] followed by the [[Phonetic symbols in Unicode#Spacing Modifier Letters (U+02B0–02FF)|aspiration modifier letter]] {{angbr IPA|◌ʰ}}, a [[subscript and superscript|superscript form]] of the symbol for the [[voiceless glottal fricative]] {{angbr IPA|h}}. For instance, {{angbr IPA|p}} represents the voiceless [[bilabial stop]], and {{angbr IPA|pʰ}} represents the aspirated bilabial stop.

[[Voice (phonetics)|Voiced consonants]] are seldom actually aspirated. Symbols for [[voice (phonetics)|voiced consonants]] followed by {{angbr IPA|◌ʰ}}, such as {{angbr IPA|bʰ}}, typically represent consonants with [[murmured voice]]d release (see [[#Breathy-voiced release|below]]). In the [[shiksha|grammatical tradition]] of [[Sanskrit]], aspirated consonants are called '''voiceless aspirated''', and breathy-voiced consonants are called '''voiced aspirated'''.

There are no dedicated IPA symbols for degrees of aspiration and typically only two degrees are marked: unaspirated {{angbr IPA|k}} and aspirated {{angbr IPA|kʰ}}. [[Obsolete and nonstandard symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet|An old symbol]] for light aspiration was {{angbr IPA|ʻ}}, but this is now obsolete. The aspiration modifier letter may be doubled to indicate especially strong or long aspiration. Hence, the two degrees of aspiration in Korean stops are sometimes transcribed {{angbr IPA|kʰ kʰʰ}} or {{angbr IPA|kʻ}} and {{angbr IPA|kʰ}}, but they are usually transcribed {{IPA|[k]}} and {{IPA|[kʰ]}},<ref>{{cite web |editor1-last=Ladefoged |editor1-first=Peter |editor1-link=Peter Ladefoged |editor2=Barbara Blankenship

Preaspirated consonants are marked by placing the aspiration modifier letter before the consonant symbol: {{angbr IPA|ʰp}} represents the preaspirated bilabial stop.

'''Unaspirated''' or [[tenuis consonant]]s are occasionally marked with the modifier letter for unaspiration {{angbr IPA|◌˭}}, a [[Unicode subscripts and superscripts|superscript]] [[equals sign]]: {{angbr IPA|t˭}}. Usually, however, unaspirated consonants are left unmarked: {{angbr IPA|t}}.
