In both cases, the distinction between clusters and affricates was merged. Voicing of affricates was also free to vary such that voiced and\\or voiceless affricates were counted equivalently. An additional co-occurrence trend between coronal fricatives and affricates and back vowels was unexpected. Glottalized or labialized obstruents and lateral fricatives or affricates also turn up fairly commonly across the continent. Fricatives, affricates, and liquids are relatively rare in babbling and early speech and have been subject to little systematic study. Chi-square analyses were conducted on liquids and on fricatives and affricates for each infant. What are the relative frequencies of fricatives and the frequency of occurrence of affricates and liquids across utterance position? And this analysis still fails to produce affricates. Affricate productions were infrequent throughout the study for all infants. In contrast to stops and affricates, sonorants have a high level of acoustic energy which renders gestural sequencing unnecessary. This affricate is not in any environment that is covered by the rule. One omission was the occurrence of a liquid contrast in the absence of affricates in the system. Predictably then, singletons and affricates are precursors to clusters. Fricatives, affricates and liquids together accounted for only 6 % of sounds.
