The voiced alveolar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiced dental, alveolar, and postalveolar plosives is d, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is d.

Breathy voice or murmured voice is a phonation in which the vocal folds are vibrating as in normal voicing, but the glottal closure is incomplete, so that the voicing is somewhat inefficient and air continues to leak between the vocal folds throughout the vibration cycle with audible friction noise. ...

The term slack voice (or lax voice) describes the pronunciation of consonants with a glottal opening slightly wider than that occurring in normal full voice. ... The term stiff voice describes the pronunciation of consonants with a glottal opening narrower, and the vocal cords stiffer, than what occurs in normal (modal) voice. ...

In English

The voiced alveolar plosive occurs in English, and it is the sound represented by the letter 'd' in dog and bombed. However, in modern English, the letter 'd' does not always denote [d]: in the past participle of verbs ending in a voiceless consonant (e.g., washed), 'd' is realized as an unvoiced [t] (sometimes written [d̥]). Also, in some dialects the sequence /dr/, such as in the word drop, is realized as something close to an affricate, [dɹ̝], which sounds quite similar to [ʤɹ]. Indeed, some linguists transcribe it as [dzɹ], [ʤɹ], or [dʑɹ] [1]. The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ... In linguistics, a participle is an adjective derived from a verb. ... A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action (bring, read), occurrence (decompose, glitter), or a state of being (exist, stand). Depending on the language, a verb may vary in form according to many factors, possibly including its tense, aspect, mood and voice. ... In phonetics, a voiceless consonant is a consonant that does not have voicing. ... An affricate is a consonant that begins like a stop (most often an alveovelar, such as [t] or [d]) and that doesnt have a release of its own, but opens directly into a fricative (or, in one language, into a trill). ...


In other languages

Some languages also distinguish between two or more varieties of [d]. In many languages, like English, the letter d is used to represent the [d] sound in spellings of words. For other uses, see D (disambiguation). ...


Portuguese

In Brazilian Portuguese, /d/ before /i/ (spelled as i or non-tonic e) can be affricated to [ʤ]. Similar allophony occurs with /t/.
