2. Consonant voicing and devoicing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant_voicing_and...

   Initial voicing is a process of historical sound change in which voiceless consonants become voiced at the beginning of a word. For example, modern German sagen [ˈzaːɡn̩] , Yiddish זאָגן [ˈzɔɡn̩] , and Dutch zeggen [ˈzɛɣə] (all "say") all begin with [z] , which derives from [s] in an earlier stage of Germanic, as is still ...

3. Voice (phonetics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_(phonetics)

   There is a hypothesis that the contrast between fortis and lenis consonants is related to the contrast between voiceless and voiced consonants. That relation is based on sound perception as well as on sound production, where consonant voice, tenseness and length are only different manifestations of a common sound feature.

4. Voicelessness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voicelessness

   The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) has distinct letters for many voiceless and modally voiced pairs of consonants (the obstruents), such as [p b], [t d], [k ɡ], [q ɢ], [f v], and [s z]. Also, there are diacritics for voicelessness, U+ 0325 ̥ COMBINING RING BELOW and U+ 030A ̊ COMBINING RING ABOVE , which is used for letters with a ...

5. Phonation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonation

   The consonants transcribed /b̥/, /d̥/, /ɡ̊/ (ambiguously called "lenis") are partially voiced: The vocal cords are positioned as for voicing, but do not actually vibrate. That is, they are technically voiceless, but without the open glottis usually associated with voiceless stops.

6. Fortis and lenis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortis_and_lenis

   Fortis stops in Australian Aboriginal languages such as Rembarunga (see Ngalakgan) also involve length, with short consonants having weak contact and intermittent voicing, and long consonants having full closure, a more powerful release burst, and no voicing. It is not clear if strength makes the consonants long, or if during long consonants ...

7. IPA consonant chart with audio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA_consonant_chart_with_audio

   The following tables present pulmonic and non-pulmonic consonants. In the IPA, a pulmonic consonant is a consonant made by obstructing the glottis (the space between the vocal cords) 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 ...

9. Phonological development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_development

   For example, if English-learning infants are exposed to a prevoiced /d/ to voiceless unaspirated /t/ continuum (similar to the /d/ - /t/ distinction in Spanish) with the majority of the tokens occurring near the endpoints of the continuum, i.e., showing extreme prevoicing versus long voice onset times (bimodal distribution) they are better at ...
