Voiceless Alveolar Fricative Trill
The voiceless alveolar trill differs from the dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills#Voiced alveolar trill, voiced alveolar trill only by the vibrations of the vocal cord. It occurs in a few languages, usually alongside the voiced version, as a similar phoneme or an allophone. Proto-Indo-European language, Proto-Indo-European developed into a sound spelled , with the letter for and the diacritic for , in Ancient Greek. It was probably a voiceless alveolar trill and became the regular word-initial allophone of in standard Attic Greek that has disappeared in Modern Greek. *PIE > Ancient Greek ῥέω "flow", possibly Features Features of the voiceless alveolar trill: *Its place of articulation is dental consonant, dental, alveolar consonant, alveolar or postalveolar consonant, post-alveolar, which means it is articulated behind upper front teeth, at the alveolar ridge or behind the alveolar ridge.

Dental, Alveolar And Postalveolar Trills
The voiced alveolar trill is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar trills is , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is r. It is commonly called the rolled R, rolling R, or trilled R. Quite often, is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages like English and German that have rhotic consonants that are not an alveolar trill. That is partly for ease of typesetting and partly because is the letter used in the orthographies of such languages. In many Indo-European languages, a trill may often be reduced to a single vibration in unstressed positions. In Italian, a simple trill typically displays only one or two vibrations, while a geminate trill will have three or more. Languages where trills always have multiple vibrations include Albanian, Spanish, Cypriot Greek, and a number of Armenian and Portuguese dialects. ...
