		A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a closure or stricture of the vocal tract sufficient to cause audible turbulence.

	Approximant consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants.
		Therefore the IPA allows the symbols for the voiced fricatives to double for the central approximants, with or without a lowering diacritic.
		Although many languages have central vowels [ɨ, ʉ] which lie between back/velar [ɯ, u] and front/palatal [i, y], there are no confirmed reports of corresponding approximants.

	Central consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		A central or medial consonant is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue.
		Examples of central consonants are the voiceless velar plosive (the "k" in the English word "skin"), the voiced alveolar fricative (the "z" in the English word "zoo") and the alveolar nasal (the "n" in the English word "plan").
		A consonsant in which air flows along the sides of the tongue rather than over its center is a lateral consonant.

	SchenkerGUIDE: Consonance and dissonance
		The idea of consonance and dissonance in western music goes back to at least the 5th century BCE and is now commonly understood to stem from a combination of factors both acoustic and cultural.
		Consonant intervals have simpler ratios (the octave has the simplest of all - 2:1) and the more complex the ratio the more it is heard as a dissonance (the minor second has a ratio of 16:15).
		Whatever the basis for the concept of consonant and dissonant intervals, a gradually changing consensus developed over the centuries that while some successions of intervals were pleasing to the ear, some were not.

	Labiodental nasal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a nasal consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the nose.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
		The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.

		Neutrality is a concept in the same associative field as centrality, because it is the central predicate of the catena which is neutral -- 'central', that is, between negative predicates on the one hand (represented, let us say, by ï, e and a) and positive ones on the other (o, u and ü).
		The consonant we are looking for has, just like the vowel, to be 'universal' in that it exists in all languages (or in as many languages as possible) and in that it can appear at any place in the morphemes of those languages.
		The velar nasal ng is not a 'neutral' consonant in that it can solely appear at the end of a yun --it cannot appear at the beginning of a syllable in the present language either (and the r does not appear in other yuns than er).

	Voiceless epiglottal fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
		Because it is pronounced in the throat, without a component in the mouth, the central/lateral dichotomy does not apply.
		In some dialects of Arabic, the pharyngeal consonants /ħ/ and /ʕ/ are phonetically epiglottal ([ʜ] and [ʢ], respectively).

		She goes on to say that in closed syllables, "the transition between the labiodentalized consonant and the final consonant is so close that one hardly hears the vowel and one is inclined to assume syllabic consonants" (p.

		There appears to be little reason, then, to add labiodentalized or palatalized consonants to the phonetic inventory of Len, claim this is precipitated by the high central unrounded vowel, and then subsequently have to argue that this feature spreads back to the vowel, or syllable nucleus.

		A central consonant is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue.

		Finally, there are loanwords into English, usually from languages where the glottal stop is a phoneme, where a glottal stop is part of the accepted pronunciation, e.g.
		Danish has the glottal stop as a suprasegmental feature, though it is seldom indicated by the orthography; only the consonant clusters 'nd' and 'ld' indicate glottal stop, e.g.
		In spelling, it may be indicated by a space (separate words), hyphen (identical vowels adjacent in compound words), or an apostrophe (identical vowels adjacent inside a single word due to consonant gradation).

	Phonology Circle
		First, the consonant's participation in spreading depends on the consonant's place of articulation and the vocalic features that are spreading (e.g., coronal consonants are compatible with front vowels).
		Third, a consonant's participation is influenced by its duration.
		That phonetics plays a central role in determining which contrasts will be most commonly neutralized in which positions is indisputable; how direct a role that must ultimately be is a matter of some contention.

		The 21 consonants of the Latin alphabet are used with their IPA values, with the following exceptions: {h} is usually part of a digraph, {j} is a voiced palatal stop [ɟ], {r} is an alveolar approximant [ɹ], and {x} is reserved for each language's individual needs.
		The IPA [h] is represented by the RKO digraph {'h}, though the apostrophe may be omitted between vowels or at the beginning of a word before a vowel.
		After a consonant, it modifies the sound of the consonant (for example, stop+h represents the equivalent fricative).

		The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is θ, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is T. The voiceless dental fricative occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letters "th" in thing and bath.
		Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
		The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lung s and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.

		Syllables are divided before the last consonant of the cluster, so for instance the name Šeikspir is divided /šeiks.pir/ (and a copy of the preceding vowel is often added in cases like this to break up the cluster, resulting in the pronunciation [ˈʃɛi̯kis.pir]).

		Rather than containing one central pitch, the new scales put every note in the scale in an equal position, each sharing an equal number of consonances with its neighbors.
		He thought of this process largely in terms of a closed cycle of fifths, mainly the consonant 3:2 fifths, but with some of the fifths "mutated" to be more complex JI ratios, in order to accomodate the CPS scale.
