DeutschVibrant consonant
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2021) |
In phonetics, a vibrant is a class of consonant including taps and trills (a trill is "sometimes referred to as a vibrant consonant"[1]). Spanish has two vibrants, /r/ and /ɾ/.
The term is sometimes used when it is not clear whether the rhotic (r-sound) in a language is a tap or a trill.
