    This document provides an overview of English consonants, describing their place and manner of articulation. It separates consonants into voiced and voiceless pairs, and categorizes them as fricatives, affricates, nasals, stops, and glides. Each consonant sound is defined by its place of articulation in the mouth and whether the vocal cords vibrate. Examples are given to demonstrate each consonant.

    Describing and Producing English Consonants

    Toh shek ling Muhammad akmal bin jauhari

    Voiced and voiceless consonants


    Voiced (vibrating) Voiceless (do not vibrate)

    /b/ /d/ /g/ /v/ /z/ // / / / / /m/ /n/ / / /l/

    /p/ /t/ /k/ /f/ /s/ //

    /h/ /r/ /j/ /w/

    Fricatives = are the sounds produced when the airstream is forced through a narrow passage in the oral cavity and released continuously but with restrictions. Examples : ~
    /f/ /v/ // // /s/ /z/ /h/ / / / /

    Fricatives and affricates

    Affricates = is produced when the airstream is totally blocked momentarily and slowly released with some friction. Example: ~ / / / /

    NASALS, STOPS AND GLIDES

    Nasals occur when the soft palate or velum is lowered to totally block the oral cavity so the airstream is released through the nasal cavity.

    /m/ /n/

    Voiced bilabial nasal The sound is articulated by pressing the lips together The airstream is released through nose because it is blocked from the mouth

    mice

    Voiced alveolar nasal The tongue blade closes against the alveolar ridge and the rims of the tongue against the side teeth The velum is lowered and air passes out through nasal cavity
    nice

    //

    Voiced velar nasal The back of the tongue closes against the soft palate while releasing air through the nose The sound occur only in medial and final positions

    sing

    Stops or plosives occur when the airstream in the oral cavity is totally blocked. This builds up air pressure behind the closure, which is then released suddenly.
    /p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/ /?/
    Voiceless bilabial plosive Airflow is stopped by complete closure of the two lips and then released suddenly Voiced bilabial plosive The sound is the same as /p/ but is accompanied by voicing Voiceless alveolar plosive Alveolar consonants are produced when the tongue tip touches the root of the mouth at or near the alveolar ridge behind upper teeth Voiced alveolar plosive Sound is same as /t/ with /d/ being articulated Voiceless velar plosive Velar consonants are formed when body of tongue approaches or touches the root of mouth on soft palate Voiced velar plosive The sound is the same as /k/ with /g/ being voiced Voiceless glottal stop Alternative of p,t,k in certain context

    Glides /w/ and /j/ have the characteristics of both vowels and consonants. It is because the articulation involves less narrowing of the articulator towards the point of articulation
    /j/ /w/

    Voiced palatal semi vowel or voiced palatal approximant


    Blade of the tongue is raised towards the hard-palate in the position of closed front vowel The tongue moves or glides away to or from a position associated with a neighbouring vowel sound
    Young,yes

    Voiced labio-velar semi-vowel or voiced bilabial approximant


    The sound is made by rounded lip[s while the tongue is in the position of a close back vowel

    Wool,wax

    /l/
    Voiced lateral approximant The tongue blade is raised and the tip usually make contact with the alveolar ridge

    The airflow is around the sides of the tongue

    life

    /r/
    Post-alveolar approximant

    The tongue tip is pulled up slightly but not touching the alveolar ridge making the tongue slightly concave
    Air flows down the middle of the tongue

    ran,bury
