  2. Glottal stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottal_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 glottal, which means it is articulated at and by the vocal cords (vocal folds). It has no phonation at all, as there is no airflow through the glottis. [2]

  3. 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 ...

  4. Voiced upper-pharyngeal plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Voiced_upper-pharyngeal_plosive

    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 upper pharyngeal , which means it is articulated with the tongue root against the back of the throat (the pharynx ) and then retracting the root of the tongue to the mid to high part of the pharynx.

  5. Voiceless palatal plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_palatal_plosive

    The voiceless palatal plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound used in some vocal languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is c , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is c .

  6. Epiglottal ejective stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiglottal_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 epiglottal, which means it is articulated with the aryepiglottic folds against the epiglottis. Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.

  7. Labial–alveolar ejective stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labial–alveolar_ejective...

    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. The airstream mechanism is ejective (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping the glottis upward.

  8. Dental and alveolar ejective stops - Wikipedia

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

    Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive. There are four specific variants of [tʼ]: Dental, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the upper teeth, termed respectively apical and laminal.

  9. 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.
