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.

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 is contrasted against consonants in which air flows over the sides of the tongue rather than down its center, lateral consonant s. 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 nontheless they are not considered lateral consonants because no language makes a distinction between the two.

Manner of articulation In phonetics , a flap or tap is a type of consonant al sound, which is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator such as the tongue is thrown against another. Contrast with stops and trills The main difference between a flap and a stop consonant is that in a flap, there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation , and consequently no release phonetics release burst. Otherwise a flap is similar to a brief stop. Flaps also contrast with Trill consonant trills , where the airstream causes the articulator to vibrate. Trills may be realized as a single contact, like a flap, but are variable, whereas a flap is limited to a single contact. Tap vs. flap Many linguists use the terms tap and flap indiscriminately.
