  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. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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

  6. Voiceless glottal affricate - Wikipedia

    Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.

  7. Glottalic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottalic_theory

    There are several problems with the traditional reconstruction. Firstly, the rarity of *b is odd from a typological point of view. If a single voiced stop is missing from a phoneme inventory (a 'gap'), it would normally be /ɡ/ that is missing (examples including Dutch, Ukrainian, Arabic, Thai, and Vietnamese); on the other hand, if a labial stop is missing, the voiceless /p/ is the most ...

  8. 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.

  9. 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".
