Editing Fricative (section)

==={{anchor|Aspiration}}Aspirated fricatives===
Fricatives are very commonly voiced, though cross-linguistically voiced fricatives are not nearly as common as [[tenuis consonant|tenuis]] ("plain") fricatives.  Other [[phonation]]s are common in languages that have those phonations in their stop consonants.  However, phonemically [[aspirated consonant|aspirated]] fricatives are rare.  {{IPA|/s~sʰ/}} contrasts with a tense, unaspirated {{IPA|/s͈/}} in [[Korean language|Korean]]; aspirated fricatives are also found in a few [[Sino-Tibetan languages]], in some [[Oto-Manguean languages]], in the Siouan language [[Ofo language|Ofo]] ({{IPA|/sʰ/}} and {{IPA|/fʰ/}}), and in the (central?) [[Chumash languages]] ({{IPA|/sʰ/}} and {{IPA|/ʃʰ/}}). The record may be [[Cone Tibetan language|Cone Tibetan]], which has four contrastive aspirated fricatives: {{IPA|/sʰ/}} {{IPA|/ɕʰ/}}, {{IPA|/ʂʰ/}}, and {{IPA|/xʰ/}}.<ref>Guillaume Jacques 2011.
