An affricate is a sound produced with a stop followed by a fricative while maintaining the same place of articulation. Although they require the vocal tract movements necessary for two other manners of articulation, affricates are perceived as a single sound. Their IPA symbols reflect this.
English includes affricates [tʃ] (as in trench) and [ʤ] (as in judge).
