This is a list of all the consonants which have a dedicated letter in the International Phonetic Alphabet, plus some of the consonants which require diacritics, ordered by place and manner of articulation.
The following is the chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet, a standardized system of phonetic symbols devised and maintained by the International Phonetic Association.
Short vowel+consonant patterns involve the spelling of the sounds / k / as in peek, / dʒ / as in stage, and / tʃ / as in speech. These sounds each have two possible spellings at the end of a word, ck and k for / k /, dge and ge for / dʒ /, and tch and ch for / tʃ /. The spelling is determined by the type of vowel that precedes the sound.
The following tables present pulmonic and non-pulmonic consonants.

Pulmonic consonants make up the majority of consonants in the ...

For example, the sound spelled th in "this" is a different consonant from the th sound in "thin".
A pulmonic consonant is a consonant made by obstructing the glottis (the space between the vocal folds) or oral cavity (the mouth) and either simultaneously or subsequently letting out air from the lungs. Pulmonic consonants make up the majority of consonants in the IPA, as well as in human language. All consonants in English fall into this ...
The following table shows the 24 consonant phonemes found in most dialects of English, plus /x/, whose distribution is more limited. Fortis consonants are always voiceless, aspirated in syllable onset (except in clusters beginning with /s/ or /ʃ/), and sometimes also glottalized to an extent in syllable coda (most likely to occur with /t/, see T-glottalization), while lenis consonants are ...
