A good example for the SSP in English is the one-syllable word trust: The first consonant in the syllable onset is t, which is a stop, the lowest on the sonority scale; next is r, a liquid which is more sonorous, then we have the vowel u / ĘŚ / – the sonority peak; next, in the syllable coda, is s, a sibilant, and last is another stop, t.
A sonority hierarchy or sonority scale is a hierarchical ranking of speech sounds (or phones). Sonority is loosely defined as the loudness of speech sounds relative to other sounds of the same pitch, length and stress, [ 1 ] therefore sonority is often related to rankings for phones to their amplitude. [ 2 ]
The vowel constitutes a sonority peak, and the sonority must progressively rise in the onset and progressively fall in the coda. PIE roots distinguish three main classes of consonants, arranged from high to low sonority: [17] Non-labial sonorants *l, *r, *y, *n, denoted collectively as *R. Labial sonorants *w, *m, denoted collectively as *M.
There are two main lenition pathways: opening and sonorization. In both cases, a stronger sound becomes a weaker one. Lenition can be seen as a movement on the sonority hierarchy from less sonorous to more sonorous, or on a strength hierarchy from stronger to weaker. In examples below, a greater-than sign indicates that one sound changes to ...

In the sonority hierarchy, all sounds higher than fricatives are sonorants. They can therefore form the nucleus of a syllable in languages that place that distinction at that level of sonority; see Syllable for details. Sonorants contrast with obstruents, which do stop or cause turbulence in the airflow.
Sonority is a measure of the amplitude of a speech sound. The particular ranking of each speech sound by sonority, called the sonority hierarchy, is language-specific, but, in its broad lines, hardly varies from a language to another, [7] which means all languages form their syllables in approximately the same way with regards to sonority.
