Re: Places of articulation
1The palato-alveolar sounds include the fricatives /ʃ/ /ʒ/, and the affricates /tʃ/ /dʒ/
2*The Alveolar sounds:/t/ /d/ /s/ /z/ /n/ /l/
/l/ could be classed as an alveolar sound; it is generally known as a lateral approximant,
In standard BrE RP, /r/ is a post-alveolar approximant, but it can be rendered in other dialects as an alveolar tap, a lingual trill, an uvular trill or an uvular fricative
And what about /w/? It's a labio-velar approximant.

You're welcome - glad the answer was helpful. :-)
ps. Please don't call me 'sir'. Some of us know a little bit more about English than others in this forum, but we are all just members or visitors, and most of us are learners in some way.
Titles such as 'Junior Member', 'VIP' member' etc are just a bit of fun. They simply mean that one has the time and inclination to answer, or ask, a number of questions - and/or to write a lot of limericks, or play a lot of games.

Excuse me for my multitude of questions because I have always ones concerning phonetics especially when I find different answers that make things more vague and complicated.
My teacher taught us British English but he considered /r/ as an alveolar sound !!
All the best
Have a nice day

There are few precise answers in speech. The IPA symbols represent certain precisely defined sounds, which are a useful guide to transcription, though some of them may not exist in exactly that form in most languages. A trained phonetician will use all sorts of supercript, subscript and diacritic symbols to try to represent exactly what sound has been uttered.
When I say the word 'murdering', the sounds represented by the letter 'r' will sound very different indeed when uttered by speakers from, for example, New York, Dorset, Glasgow or Newcastle. Even if I say the word twice, trying to say it in exactly the same way each time, a spectogram will show tiny differences.

It may have been an alveolar sound, in his dialect.

Yes,I find many symbols that we do not need them in transcription as the vowel diagram I have posted in the prevoius thread.
