Editing Lateral consonant (section)

==Lateralized consonants==
A superscript {{angbr IPA|ˡ}} is defined as [[lateral release (phonetics)|lateral release]].

Consonants may also be pronounced with simultaneous lateral and central airflow. This is well-known from speech pathology with a [[lateral lisp]]. However, it also occurs in nondisordered speech in some southern [[Arabic dialects]] and possibly some [[Modern South Arabian languages]], which have pharyngealized nonsibilant {{IPA|/ʪ̪ˤ/}} and {{IPA|/ʫ̪ˤ/}} (simultaneous {{IPA|[θ͜ɬˤ]}} and {{IPA|[ð͡ɮˤ]}}) and possibly a sibilant {{IPA|/ʪ/}} (simultaneous {{IPA|[s͜ɬ]}}). Examples are {{IPA|/θˡˤaim/}} 'pain' in the dialect of [[ʽAsir province|Al-Rubūʽah]] and {{IPA|/ðˡˤahr/}} 'back' and  {{IPA|/ðˡˤabʕ/}} 'hyena' in [[Rijal Alma{{ayin}}a]].<ref>Heselwood (2013) ''Phonetic transcription in theory and practice'', p 122–123</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.academia.edu/8283145|title=Lateral fricatives and lateral emphatics in southern Saudi Arabia and Mehri|author=Janet Watson|work=academia.edu|date=January 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | url=https://www.academia.edu/8283071 | title=Lateral reflexes of Proto-Semitic D and Dh in Al-Rubūʽah dialect, south-west Saudi Arabic: Electropalatographic and acoustic evidence | journal=Nicht Nur mit Engelszungen: Beiträge zur Semitischen Dialektologie: Festschrift für Werner Arnold | date=January 2013 | last1=Watson | first1=Janet }}</ref> (Here the {{angbr IPA|ˡ}} indicates simultaneous laterality rather than lateral release.) Biblical Hebrew may have had non-emphatic central-lateral sibilants {{IPA|[ʃ͡ɬ]}} and {{IPA|[s͜ɬ]}}, while [[Old Arabic]] has been analyzed as having the emphatic central–lateral fricatives {{IPA|[θ͜ɬˤ]}}, {{IPA|[ð͡ɮˤ]}} and {{IPA|[ʃ͡ɬˤ]}}.<ref>Potet (2013) ''Arabic and Persian Loanwords in Tagalog'', p. 89 ff.</ref>
