t/d

I think my favourite consonant is the unaspirated voiceless alveolar stop, i.e. "t", if you pronounce it the way it is in Malay, or in my 'Teng', or in a word like 'stand' (where it's in a consonant cluster and morphs from the standard English aspirated "t"), or the "d" in Hanyu pinyin. I think I like it because it's a litle foreign to native English speakers who haven't grown up learning a language that includes it, just like the German "ch" is a bit exotic to Malaysians (I think).

"I think" too much.

Edited - thanks to Andrew for cathing my inaccuracy. The aspirated 'd' (which is voiced) is pretty interesting too...
