  2. Plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plosive

    In addition, they restrict "plosive" for pulmonic consonants; "stops" in their usage include ejective and implosive consonants. [2] If a term such as "plosive" is used for oral non-affricated obstruents, and nasals are not called nasal stops, then a stop may mean the glottal stop; "plosive" may even mean non-glottal stop. In other cases ...

  3. Voiced retroflex plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_retroflex_plosive

    The voiced retroflex plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɖ , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is d` .

  4. Bilabial ejective stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilabial_ejective_stop

    Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive. Its place of articulation is bilabial, which means it is articulated with both lips. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.

  5. Voiced dental and alveolar plosives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_and_alveolar...

    The voiced alveolar, dental and postalveolar plosives (or stops) are types of consonantal sounds used in many spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiced dental, alveolar, and postalveolar plosives is d (although the symbol d̪ can be used to distinguish the dental plosive, and d̠ the postalveolar), and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is d.

  6. Voiceless dental and alveolar plosives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_and...

    Here are features of the voiceless alveolar stop: Its manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive. There are three specific variants of [t]:

  7. Epiglottal plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiglottal_plosive

    Epiglottal and pharyngeal consonants occur at the same place of articulation. Esling (2010) describes the sound covered by the term "epiglottal plosive" as an "active closure by the aryepiglottic pharyngeal stricture mechanism" – that is, a stop produced by the aryepiglottic folds within the pharynx.

  8. Sonority hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonority_hierarchy

    That can be demonstrated by putting a few fingers on one's throat and pronouncing an open vowel such as the vowel [a], and then pronouncing one of the plosives (also known as stop consonants) of the [p t k] class. For vowels, there is a consistent level pressure generated from the lungs and diaphragm, and the difference in pressure in one's ...

  9. Voiced velar plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_plosive

    The voiced velar plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages. Some languages have the voiced pre-velar plosive , [ 1 ] which is articulated slightly more front compared with the place of articulation of the prototypical velar plosive, though not as front as the prototypical palatal plosive .
