===English===
In English, {{angbr|t}} usually denotes the [[voiceless alveolar plosive]] ([[help:IPA|International Phonetic Alphabet]] and [[X-SAMPA]]: {{IPAslink|t}}), as in ''tart'', ''tee'', or ''ties'', often with [[Aspirated consonant|aspiration]] at the beginnings of words or before [[Stress (linguistics)|stressed]] vowels. The letter {{angbr|t}} corresponds to the affricate {{IPA|/t͡ʃ/}} in some words as a result of [[Phonological history of English consonant clusters#Yod-coalescence|yod-coalescence]] (for example, in words ending in -"ture", such as ''future'').

A common [[Digraph (orthography)|digraph]] is {{angbr|th}}, which usually represents a [[dental fricative]], but occasionally represents {{IPA|/t/}} (as in ''Thomas'' and ''thyme''). The digraph {{angbr|ti}} often corresponds to the sound {{IPA|/ʃ/}} (a [[voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant]]) word-medially when followed by a vowel, as in ''nation'', ''ratio'', ''negotiation'', and ''Croatia''.

In a few words of modern French origin, the letter T is silent at the end of a word; these include ''croquet'' and ''debut''.

===Other languages===
In the [[orthographies]] of other languages, {{angbr|t}} is often used for {{IPA|/t/}}, the [[voiceless dental plosive]] {{IPA|/t̪/}}, or similar sounds.

===Other systems===
