However, ceiling effects make it impossible to distinguish performance onpalato-alveolarand dental stops - both were identified with almost 100 % accuracy.

With respect to the variation across sounds, the alveolar fricative (/s-z/) was voiced on practically all occasions (99%), followed closely by thepalato-alveolar(/1-^/).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Subjects differed mainly in the degree of voicing they exhibited with the labiodental fricative and thepalato-alveolaraffricate. 10.

Later, thepalato-alveolarfricative x changed into the velar fricative, while ch stay unchanged.
