Czech words with ť (soft palatal t)

Czech ť is a palatalised t — middle of the tongue against the front roof of the mouth.

The same family as English t, but the contact point shifts back from teeth to palate. Sounds slightly like "ty" said as one sound. See also the words below where t softens to ť before i, í, or ě even though the spelling shows plain t.
