Unreferenced date December 2009 An oral consonant is a consonant sound speech sound in Speech communication speech that is made by allowing air to escape from the mouth, as opposed to the nose. To create an intended oral consonant sound, the entire mouth plays a role in modifying the air s passageway. This rapid modification of the air passageway using the tongue and lips makes changes to the waveform of the sound by compressing and expanding the air. In addition to the nose and mouth, the vocal cords and lungs also make a contribution to producing speech by controlling the volume amplitude and pitch music pitch frequency of the sound. The use of the vocal cords will also determine whether the consonant is Voice phonetics voiced or voiceless . The vast majority of consonants are oral consonants, such as, for example IPA p , w , v or IPA x . The others are nasal, such as the nasal stop s IPA m or IPA .

Place of articulation Dorsal consonants are articulated with the mid body of the tongue the dorsum . They contrast with coronal consonant s articulated with the flexible front of the tongue, and radical consonant s articulated with the root of the tongue. Function The dorsum of the tongue can contact a broad region of the roof of the mouth, from the hard palate so called palatal consonant s , the flexible soft palate velum behind that velar consonant s , to the Palatine uvula uvula at the back of the mouth cavity uvular consonant s . These distinctions are not clear cut, and sometimes finer gradations such as pre palatal, pre velar, and post velar will be noted. Because the tip of the tongue can curl back to also contact the hard palate for retroflex consonant s, consonants produced by contact between the dorsum and the palate are sometimes called dorso palatal. In different languages The most common pronunciation of the English letter G as in the g arden or to g rab is dorsal, a voiced velar plosive . The pronunciation of the letters K, Q, and sometimes C as in the c ake or to c rawl is similarly dorsal, a voiceless velar plosive . Two English language English Approximant consonant approximant s, Y as in y ellow and W as in w hite, are also dorsal consonants, palatal and Labialisation labialised velar respectively.

Infobox IPA above Laminal ipa symbol decimal 827 ipa number 410 Place of articulation A laminal consonant is a Phone phonetics phone produced by obstructing the air passage with the blade of the tongue, which is the flat top front surface just behind the tip of the tongue on the top. This contrasts with apical consonant s, which are produced by creating an obstruction with the tongue apex tongue tip only. This distinction applies only to coronal consonant s, which use the front of the tongue. Laminal vs. apical is not a very common contrast within a language. However, the contrast is very common in Australian languages , where there are usually no fricatives. Outside Australia, where such a contrast occurs, it is typically phonemic with fricative s and affricate s rather than stops, although some native languages of California make the distinction with plosive s as well, while Dahalo language Dahalo makes the distinction only in its plosives. The Basque language differentiates between laminal and apical in the alveolar consonant alveolar region, as does Serbo Croatian language Serbo Croatian , while Poles Polish and Mandarin Chinese Mandarin make the distinction with postalveolar consonant s.

Manner of articulation In phonetics , a trill is a consonant al sound produced by vibrations between the articulator and the place of articulation . Standard Spanish < rr digraph rr > as in perro , for example is an alveolar trill . Trills are very different from flap consonant flaps . Whereas with a flap or tap , a specific gesture is used to strike the active articulator against the passive one, in the case of a trill the articulator is held in place, where the airstream causes it to vibrate. Usually a trill vibrates for 2 3 periods , but may be up to 5, or even more if geminate consonant geminate . However, trills may also be produced with only a single period. While this might seem like a flap, the articulation is different trills will vary in the number of periods, but flaps do not.

In phonetics and phonology , an intervocalic consonant is a consonant that occurs in the middle of a word, between two vowel s. Intervocalic consonants are associated with lenition , a phonetic process that causes consonants to weaken and eventually disappear entirely. An example of such a change in English language English is intervocalic alveolar flapping , a process especially in North American English and Australian English that, impressionistically speaking, turns t into d , causing e.g. metal and batter to sound like medal and badder , respectively.

A central or medial consonant is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue. The class contrasts with lateral consonant s, in which air flows over the sides of the tongue rather than down its center. Examples of central consonants are the voiced alveolar fricative the z in the English word zoo and the palatal approximant the y in the English word yes . Others are the central fricatives IPA s z x , the central approximants IPA j w , the trills IPA r , and the central flaps IPA . The term does not apply to nasal consonants such as IPA m n , as there is no possibility of lateral nasal airflow. No language releases oral stops such as IPA p b t d k to the side, though non labial stops such as IPA t d k may have a secondary lateral release phonetics lateral release . However, stop consonants are lumped in as central consonants. The labial fricatives IPA f v often perhaps usually have lateral airflow, as the lip blocks the airflow in the center, but nonetheless they are not considered lateral consonants because no language makes a distinction between the two. In some languages, the centrality of a consonant may be indeterminate. In Japanese, for example, there is a flap consonant that may be either central or lateral, typically central before a front vowel, as in ri IPA i , and lateral before a back vowel, as in ro IPA o . Transcribing the phoneme r as either IPA or IPA gives the false impression that it is one or the other, when the category does not apply.

Wiktionary emphatic Emphatic consonant is a term widely used in Semitic languages Semitic linguistics to describe one of a series of obstruent consonant s which originally contrasted with series of both voiced and voiceless obstruent s. In specific Semitic languages , the members of this series may be realized as pharyngealized , velarized , ejective , or plain voiced or voiceless consonant s. It is also used, to a lesser extent, to describe cognate series in other Afro Asiatic languages , where they are typically realized as either ejective or implosive consonant s. In Semitic studies , they are commonly transcribed using the convention of placing a dot under the closest plain obstruent consonant in the Latin alphabet . With respect to particular Semitic and Afro Asiatic languages , this term has come to be used more specifically to describe the particular phonetic feature which distinguishes these consonants from other consonants. Thus, in Arabic emphasis is synonymous with a secondary articulation involving retraction of the dorsum or root of the tongue, which has variously been described as velarization or pharyngealization depending on where the locus of the retraction is assumed to be. Within Arabic, the emphatic consonants have been reported as varying in phonetic realization from dialect to dialect, but are typically realized as pharyngealized consonants. In Ethiopian and Modern South Arabian languages, they are realized as ejective consonants. While these sounds do not necessarily share any particular phonetic properties in common, most historically derive from a common source.
