Unaspirated Lateral Affricate

North Slavey, Deline

 

1. dléa [tɬéjə] "squirrel"  -  Speaker: SP5

The unaspirated lateral affricate dl [tɬ] with a partially voiced release. Note that the release portion begins as a voiced fricative, but then transitions to an approximant. The transition is clearly visible in the waveform and spectrogram.
