I know a lot of slavic and romance languages don't aspirate their consonants at all, but are there any languages from these two subgroups of languages that do use aspiration as a feature of consonants?

1I remember that some dialects of Spanish (or perhaps it was some other Iberian romance language) aspirate voiceless consonants after /s/ in onset consonant sequences, but I will have to confirm. – Quintus Caesius - RM Jul 06 '22 at 18:10

I think that /t/, /p/, and /k/ are often aspirated in French at the end of words. – Vegawatcher Jul 07 '22 at 14:55

In my native spanish dialect there is indeed such an allophony for velar consonants. I do not believe it happens in other cases (in spanish). ex: bosque --> \ˈboχkʰe. This is never phonemic (I know you asked about allophones, but just to be clear). – Qwertuy Jul 07 '22 at 16:17

What is the dialect of Spanish that you speak? it looks very interesting. – LinguisticsFanatic Jul 07 '22 at 16:22
