  • “The sound # can, in very general terms, be described as being produced by the vibration of the tip of the tongue raised up to some point between the teeth-ridge and the middle-palate on the mouth-roof.”
  • “Further, the tendency of Dravidian to push up the tongue-tip towards the dome or apex of the mouth.roof (cf, the enunciation of the characteristic ‘cerebral’ sounds 4, છે, 1 of Dravidian) has led to the production in Dravidian of as many # sounds as there are points of articulation”
