WHAT DOES INTERDENTAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Interdental consonant

Interdental consonants are produced by placing the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower front teeth. This differs from dental consonants, which are articulated with the tongue against the back of the upper incisors. Interdental consonants may be transcribed with both a subscript and a superscript bridge, as ⟨n̪͆⟩, if precision is required, but it is more common to transcribe them as advanced alveolars, for example ⟨n̟⟩. Interdental consonants are rare cross-linguistically. Interdental realisations of otherwise dental or alveolar consonants may occur as idiosyncrasies or as coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound. The most commonly occurring interdental consonants are the non-sibilant fricatives. Apparently, interdentals do not contrast with dental consonants within any language. Voiced and voiceless interdental fricatives appear in American English as the initial sounds of words like 'then' and 'thin'. In British English, these consonants are more likely to be dental.
