Talk:Voiceless dental approximant

Merge with voiceless dental fricative
, what is your argument for merging this article with voiceless dental fricative? We have both Spanish and Italian here, not just Spanish (both are sourced anyway). Peter238 (talk) 21:04, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Same reason as with the voiceless bilabial approximant. They're variable in both languages. Also we don't have separate articles for [β̞] and [ð̞]. — Jɑuмe (dis-me) 21:24, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * We need a source that explicitly says that they're variable in Spanish - two separate sources (one saying "approximant", the other "fricative") just won't do. The second argument is pretty good though, you're right. Peter238 (talk) 21:26, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know if there's such a source, but from what I listened and know there are different levels of lenition. — Jɑuмe (dis-me) 22:16, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Does the source for Italian describe [θ] as variable? — Jɑuмe (dis-me) 22:23, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just checked - strangely, it does not. I'll remove Italian from these articles. Peter238 (talk) 00:00, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
