Aspirated Post-alveolar Affricate

Dene Sųłiné, Cold Lake

chedh [tʃʰɛð] "duck"  -  Speaker: SP1

An example of the affricate ch [tʃʰ] in word-initial position. The frication period of this sound is voiceless, and the fricative ends with a small period of aspiration right before the onset of the vowel. Note the difference between this sound and the j [dʒ] phoneme in length and type of release period.
