Ejective consonants are a class of consonants which may contrast with aspirated or tenuis consonants in a language.
Ejectives are voiceless consonants that are pronounced with simultaneous closure of the glottis.
Among the scattered languages with ejectives elsewhere are Itelmen of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages and Yapese of the Austronesian family.

 Alveolar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.

 Alveolar ejective - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The alveolar ejective is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
The airstream mechanism is glottalic egressive, which means that the air, which is trapped between the closed glottis and alveolar obstruction, is pushed out through an upwards movement of the larynx.

The alveolar ridge is the ridge on the roof of the mouth between the teeth and the hard palate.
Postalveolar (or palato-alveolar) consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants) and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
Ejective consonants are a class of consonants which may contrast with aspirated or unaspirated consonants in a language.

 Encyclopedia: Alveolar approximant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The alveolar approximant is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is approximant, which means it is produced by bringing one articulator close to another but without the vocal tract being narrowed to such an extent that a turbulent airstream is produced.

 Lateral consonant - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
One, found before vowels as in lady or fly, is called clear l, pronounced as the alveolar lateral approximant [l] with a "neutral" position of the body of the tongue.
The other variant, so-called dark l found before consonants or word-finally, as in bold or tell, is pronounced as the velarized alveolar lateral approximant [ɫ;] with the tongue assuming a spoon-like shape with its back part raised, which gives the sound a [w]- or [ɰ]-like resonance.
The symbol for the alveolar lateral flap is the basis for the expected symbol for the retroflex lateral flap:

In phonetics, a bilabial consonant is a consonant articulated with both lips.
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the middle or back part of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).
An affricate is a consonant that begins like a stop (most often an alveovelar, such as [t] or [d]) and that doesnt have a release of its own, but opens directly into a fricative (or, in one language, into a trill).

All sibilants are coronal, but may be dental, alveolar, postalveolar, or palatal (retroflex) within that range.
However, at the postalveolar place of articulation the tongue may take several shapes: domed, laminal, or apical, and each of these is given a separate symbol and a separate name.
The alveolars and dentals may also be either apical or laminal, but this difference is indicated with diacritics rather than with separate symbols.
