Plosives

Upon explaining plosives to his class, the linguistics teacher instantly became covered in spit.

In my idiolect of English, I do not aspirate plosives, and the first part of the word "Australia" rhymes with "cow."

Doesn't a language in which many words end with consonants, like plosives and affricates, sound "harder" than a language in which many words end with a vowel? Which ones are the "rocks"?

I still want to see Sweden and Finland, as one of my favourite fantasy authors is Tove Jansson of Moomintroll fame. It fascinates me that as a Germanic tongue, Swedish has tones and has syllables ending with voiced plosives, as the word "god" for "good." Written Finnish is reminiscent of Japanese in Roman letters.

"The Hebrew letter Bet can make the sound of either B or V, because in Biblical Hebrew, ungeminated plosives underwent spirantization after vowels." "English, please."

Dutch has five plosives.

Voiceless plosives in Dutch have almost no aspiration at all.
