A subapical consonant is a consonant made by contact with the underside of the tip of the tongue. The only common subapical articulations are in the postalveolar consonant postalveolar to palatal consonant palatal region, which are called retroflex consonant retroflex . However, most so called retroflex consonants are actually apical consonant apical . True subapical retroflexes are found in the Dravidian languages of southern India . Occasionally the term sublaminal is used for subapical.

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 .

IndicText A zero consonant , silent initial , or null onset letter is a consonant like letter alphabet letter that is not pronounced, but indicates that a word or syllable starts with a vowel i.e. has a null onset . Some abjad s, abugida s, and alphabet s have zero consonants, generally because they have an orthographic rule that all syllables must begin with a consonant letter, whereas the language they transcribe allows syllables to start with a vowel. However, in a few cases, such as Pahawh Hmong below, the lack of a consonant letter represents a specific consonant sound, so the lack of a consonant sound requires a distinct letter to disambiguate. Uses The letter aleph is a zero consonant in Ashkenazi Hebrew . It was originally a glottal stop , a value it retains in other Hebrew dialects. In Arabic alphabet Arabic , the related letter alif is often a placeholder for a vowel. In Thaana of the Maldives, is a zero. It requires a diacritic to indicate the associated vowel is i, o, etc. This is similar to an abjad, but the vowel mark is not optional. The Lontara script for Buginese, with zero , is similar to Thaana, except that without a vowel diacritic represents an initial vowel a. The Lepcha script of Nepal is similar. Burmese script Burmese , Thai alphabet Thai , and Lao script Lao are null initial vowel support letters. Thai , for example, is ang basin . is the vowel a and the consonant ng. and pull double duty as vowels in some positions. In Canadian Aboriginal syllabics Cree and Inuit , a triangle represents a vowel initial syllable. The orientation of this triangle specifies the vowel e, i, o, a.

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.

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. 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 plosive. 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 make the distinction with postalveolar consonant s. Because laminal consonants use the flat of the tongue, they cover a broader area of contact than apical consonants. Laminal consonants in some languages have been recorded with a broad occlusion closure covering the entire front of the mouth, from the hard palate to the teeth. Therefore it is difficult to compare the two alveolar laminals and apicals are two different articulations.

Place of articulation An apical consonant is a Phone phonetics phone speech sound produced by obstructing the air passage with the apex of the tongue i.e. the tip of the tongue . This contrasts with laminal consonant s, which are produced by creating an obstruction with the blade of the tongue which is just behind the apex . This is not a very common distinction, and typically applied only to fricative s and affricate s. Thus many varieties of the English language have either apical or laminal pairs of t d . However, some varieties of Arabic, including Hadhrami Arabic , realizes t as laminal but d as apical.

Mandarin Chinese language Mandarin Chinese uses it for postalveolar consonant postalveolar fricatives the alveolo palatal and retroflex series . St at imcets language St at imcets uses this as a secondary feature in contrasting velarized and non velarized affricates.

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 is an alveolar trill , while in Parisian French it is almost always uvular trill uvular . 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.
