Place of articulation Glottal consonants , also called laryngeal consonants , are consonant s articulated with the glottis . Many phoneticians consider them, or at least the so called Fricative consonant fricative , to be transitional states of the glottis without a point of articulation as other consonants have in fact, some do not consider them to be consonants at all.

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.

Place of articulation Radical consonants are those consonants articulated with the root base of the tongue in the throat . This includes the pharyngeal consonant pharyngeal , epiglottal consonant epiglottal , and epiglotto pharyngeal consonant epiglotto pharyngeal places of articulation. The term radical was coined to help disambiguate pharyngeal , which had come to mean any consonant articulated in the throat, whether the articulator was the back of the tongue high pharyngeals or the epiglottis low pharyngeals . However, the term pharyngeal is still commonly used in the broader sense, and authors such as Miller 2005 prefer guttural , which may include glottal consonant s as well.

Articulation During the occlusion of the stop, pulling the glottis downward rarefies the air in the vocal tract. The stop is then released. In languages where implosives are particularly salient, this may result in air rushing into the mouth, before flowing out again with the next vowel. Thus the name implosive .

These sounds are fairly common in the world s languages, as are other affricates with similar sounds, such as those in Polish language Polish and Chinese language Chinese . However, other than IPA d , voiced affricates are relatively uncommon. For several places of articulation they are not attested at all. Much less common are e.g. Labiodental consonant labiodental affricates, such as IPA p f in German and Izi language Izi , or Velar consonant velar affricates, such as IPA k x in Tswana language Tswana written kg or High Alemannic Swiss German dialects.

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 .

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.

Labialized velars include IPA k , , x , , which are pronounced like a IPA k, , x, but with rounded lips. Labialized velars, especially IPA k , are extremely common speech sounds.

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.
