The '''alveolar''' and '''dental ejective stops''' are types of [[consonant]]al sounds, usually described as voiceless, that are pronounced with a [[Airstream mechanism#Glottalic initiation|glottalic egressive airstream]]. In the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]], ejectives are indicated with a "modifier letter apostrophe" ⟨'''ʼ'''⟩,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-chart|title=The International Phonetic Alphabet and the IPA Chart {{!}} International Phonetic Association|website=www.internationalphoneticassociation.org|language=en|access-date=2018-04-01}}</ref> as in this article. A reversed apostrophe is sometimes used to represent light aspiration, as in [[Armenian language|Armenian]] linguistics ⟨p‘ t‘ k‘⟩; this usage is obsolete in the IPA. In other transcription traditions, the apostrophe represents [[Palatalization (phonetics)|palatalization]]: ⟨pʼ⟩ = IPA ⟨pʲ⟩. In some [[Americanist phonetic notation|Americanist traditions]], an apostrophe indicates weak ejection and an exclamation mark strong ejection: ⟨k̓ , k!⟩. In the IPA, the distinction might be written ⟨kʼ, kʼʼ⟩, but it seems that no language distinguishes degrees of ejection.

In alphabets using the Latin script, an IPA-like apostrophe for ejective consonants is common. However, there are other conventions. In [[Hausa language|Hausa]], the hooked letter [[ƙ]] is used for /kʼ/. In [[Zulu language|Zulu]] and [[Xhosa language|Xhosa]], whose ejection is variable between speakers, plain consonant letters are used: ''p t k ts tsh kr'' for /pʼ tʼ kʼ tsʼ tʃʼ kxʼ/. In some conventions for [[Haida language|Haida]] and [[Hadza language|Hadza]], double letters are used: ''tt kk qq ttl tts'' for /tʼ kʼ qʼ tɬʼ tsʼ/ (Haida) and ''zz jj dl gg'' for /tsʼ tʃʼ cʎ̥˔ʼ kxʼ/ (Hadza).

In [[Oromo language|Oromo]] /tʼ/ is written as ⟨x⟩.

==Features==
Features of the alveolar ejective:

{{plosive}}
* There are four specific variants of {{IPA|[tʼ]}}:
** [[Dental consonant|Dental]], which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the upper [[teeth]], termed respectively ''[[apical consonant|apical]]'' and ''[[laminal consonant|laminal]]''.
** [[Denti-alveolar consonant|Denti-alveolar]], which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue at the [[alveolar ridge]], and the tip of the tongue behind upper teeth.
** [[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]], which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge, termed respectively ''apical'' and ''laminal''.
** [[Postalveolar consonant|Postalveolar]], which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, termed respectively ''apical'' and ''laminal''.
