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 reasons for considering these sequences to be single consonants is in their behavior, not in their actual composition. However, there may also be phonetic correlates which distinguish prenasalized consonants from clusters involving nasal consonants.

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.

Place of articulation A dental consonant is a consonant articulated with the tongue against the upper teeth, such as IPA t , IPA d , IPA n , and IPA l in some languages. Dentals are primarily distinguished from sounds in which contact is made with the tongue and the Gingiva gum ridge, as in English see Alveolar consonant , due to the acoustic similarity of the sounds and the fact that in the Roman alphabet they are generally written using the same symbols t , d , n , and so on .

Dentals cross linguistically For many languages, such as Albanian language Albanian or Russian language Russian , velarization is generally associated with more dental articulations of coronal consonants so that velarized consonants such as Albanian IPA tend to be dental or denti alveolar while non velarized consonants tend to be retracted to an alveolar position. ref Harvcoltxt ....
