"(The list below is missing linguolabial, alveolo-palatal and retroflex consonants)". Why? yoyo (talk) 02:08, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I guess they could simply be added, though it would make it a very long list and I don't know if that is desirable. However, as it stands now, it simply replicates most of the table on alveolar consonant page plus the two dentals and postalveolars, which cannot be the purpose of this list. --JorisvS (talk) 14:44, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the purpose was to illustrate the variety of coronals by using English examples (with a couple of Spanish ones). It might be better to list all the different coronal articulatory gestures ("places of articulation"), many of which do not occur in English or Spanish, as a bulleted list, with each item linked to the Wikipedia page devoted to it. — Solo Owl (talk) 18:56, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
