		Dorsal consonants are articulated with the mid body of the tongue (the dorsum).
		They contrast with coronal consonants articulated with the flexible front of the tongue, and radical consonants articulated with the root of the tongue.
		The pronunciation of the letters K, Q, and sometimes C (as in the cake or to crawl) is similarly dorsal, a voiceless velar plosive.

	sociology - Dorsal
		Examples of this include the dorsal fin, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, dorsal nerve, dorsum sellae, dorsal arch, dorsalis pedis arteries, dorsal ramus, dorsal respiratory group, dorsal venous arch, and dorsiflexion among others.
		In linguistics, a dorsal consonant refers to hard sounds utilizing the tongue on the back of the mouth, such as palatal, velar, and uvular consonants.
		In neurology, dorsal is an outdated term for the medial longitudinal fasciculus in the neural arch.

		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.
		The word consonant comes from Latin and means "sounding with" or "sounding together," the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but occur only with a nearby vowel, which is the case in Latin.
		Consonant letters in the English alphabet are B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z, and usually Y: The letter Y stands for the consonant [j] in "yoke" but for the vowel [ɪ] in "myth", for example.

	Consonant (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		There are a group of consonants called sonorants that sometimes act as vowels, occupying the peak of a syllable, and sometimes act as consonants.
		Consonant letters in the English alphabet are B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z, and sometimes Y — the letter Y stands for a consonant in "yoke" but for a vowel in "myth", for example.
		The phonation method of a consonant is whether or not the vocal cords are vibrating during articulation of a consonant.

		Place and manner of articulation, voicing and the effects of consonant sequencing were studied in different vowel contexts.
		The lingua-dorsal consonant was associated with greater closure force than the lingua-apical consonant but only for the men and only in the high-back vowel environment.
		A tendency for greater closure force for the fricative consonant was observed when the fricative followed rather than preceded the nasal consonant.

		Dorsal consonants are articulated with the back of the tongue against either the hard palate, or the flexible velum just behind it, or even against the uvula.
		The English pronunciation of the letter G — either before the vowels a, o and u, or before the letters l and r — is a dorsal consonant.

		The likelihood of three dorsal rows has also been disputed on typological grounds, but that argument has little merit, since there are, indeed, languages with such a three-row system, for example the Yazgulyam language (an Iranian language, but its system of dorsals is unrelated to PIE phonology).

		Namely, since extra consonants can be an onset or coda to an already existing syllable and thus do not necessarily add to syllable count, they will not necessarily violate the constraint when they surface as independent segments.
		Thus the behavior of the latent consonants does not entail that they have an underlying root node, since their form and position are completely predictable from the grammar.
		Their behavior differs from that of the latent consonants, including the glottal, in that they do not materialize every time there is room for them.

	Kuvi
		This similarity is recognized in the feature geometry of Jakobson, Fant and Halle (1952) in which labials and velars are classified as [grave], a class which includes sounds having energy predominantly in the lower end of the spectrum.
		Perceptual Enhancement (Hume 2001): An experimental study of the salience of consonant place in the context VCCV suggests that positioning a dorsal stop consonant in the onset, even when unstressed, provides a greater boost in perceptibility than it does for a labial stop consonant (Winters 1999).
		As the result of metathesis, the two consonants occur in the contexts which maximize their individual salience as well as the overall salience of the pair.

	LINGUIST List 13.3330: High Vowels & Dorsal Consonants
		If the target consonant has no other features, however, it might be realized as a high consonant such as a velar by default.
		In some langauges a fianl consonant is allowed+ that consonant will be r if the last vowel is e, a or o; it will be b if the last vowel is u; and g if the last vowel is i.
		However, there is an evidence in the North-Eastern Thai dialect that high vowel /ii/ spread the palatal quality to the preceding consonant (the onset) and change this velar consonant to an alveolopalatal consonant (I represent it with a [ch] because I can't insert IPA symbol here).

	Interdental consonant (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Interdental consonants are produced by placing the blade of the tongue against the upper incisors.
		This differs from a dental consonant in that the tip of the tongue is placed between the upper and lower front teeth, and therefore may articulate with both the upper and lower incisors, while a dental consonant is articulated with the tongue against the back of the front incisors.
		Interdental realisations of otherwise dental consonants do appear to be more frequent as idiosyncrasies or due to coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound.

	Past Linguistic Activities from 2003
		The case for truncation being morphological comes from differences between it and the other two "juncture processes" in cases in which a potential undergoer is preceded by proclitic material that is not in a complement relation to it.
		Though the case for truncation in this case is not as clear, the main argument for it being that the final consonants in the participial forms are not predictable, we show some interesting insights on the phonological shape of finite stems that follow if we exploratorily adopt this analysis.
		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).

		For example, the Spanish consonant spelt b or v is pronounced as a voiced bilabial approximant between vowels.
