  2. Voiceless glottal fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_glottal_fricative

    The voiceless glottal fricative, sometimes called voiceless glottal transition or the aspirate, [1] [2] is a type of sound used in some spoken languages that patterns like a fricative or approximant consonant phonologically, but often lacks the usual phonetic characteristics of a consonant.

  3. Glottis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottis

    English has a voiceless glottal transition spelled "h". This sound is produced by keeping the vocal folds spread somewhat, resulting in non-turbulent airflow through the glottis. [ 4 ] In many accents of English the glottal stop (made by pressing the folds together) is used as a variant allophone of the phoneme /t/ (and in some dialects ...

  4. Ingressive sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingressive_sound

    Glottal ingressive is the term generally applied to the implosive consonants, which actually use a mixed glottalic ingressive–pulmonic egressive airstream. True glottalic ingressives are quite rare and are called "voiceless implosives" or "reverse ejectives".

  5. Dental and alveolar ejective stops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_and_alveolar...

    Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only. It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.

  6. Airstream mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstream_mechanism

    These holds may be voiceless, voiced, or nasalized. Then lower the body of the tongue to rarefy the air above it. The closure at the front of the tongue is opened first, as the click "release"; then the closure at the back is released for the pulmonic or glottalic click "accompaniment" or "efflux". This may be aspirated, affricated, or even ...

  7. Glottal consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottal_consonant

    [ɦ] is a breathy-voiced transition, and could be transcribed as [h̤]. Lamé is one of very few languages that contrasts voiceless and voiced glottal fricatives. [1] The glottal stop occurs in many languages. Often all vocalic onsets are preceded by a glottal stop, for example in German (in careful

  8. Glottalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottalization

    In certain cases, the glottal stop can even wholly replace the voiceless consonant. The term 'glottalized' is also used for ejective and implosive consonants; see glottalic consonant for examples. There are two other ways to represent glottalization of sonorants in the IPA : (a) the same way as ejectives , with an apostrophe; or (b) with the ...

  9. Nasal click - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_click

    Nasal clicks are click consonants pronounced with nasal airflow.All click types (alveolar ǃ, dental ǀ, lateral ǁ, palatal ǂ, retroflex ‼, and labial ʘ) have nasal variants, and these are attested in four or five phonations: voiced, voiceless, aspirated, murmured (breathy voiced), and—in the analysis of Miller (2011)—glottalized.
