	Ejective consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		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.

	Lateral consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Laterals are "L"-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides 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 [ʟ]-like resonance.
		Rarer lateral consonants include the retroflex laterals that can be found in most Indic languages; and the sound of Welsh ll, the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative [ɬ] that is also found in Zulu and many Native American languages.

		They are often described as sounding like "spat" consonants, but ejectivity is often quite weak; in some contexts, and depending upon the language they appear in, they may even sound like unaspirated consonants.
		Language families which utilise ejective consonants include the Northwest, Northeast and South Caucasian families; the Athabaskan family; the Salishan family; the Afro-Asiatic family (notably Hausa); the Khoisan family; and Korean.
		However, a very few languages utilise ejective fricatives as well; Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) uses an ejective lateral fricative, the Upper Necaxa dialect of the Totonac language uses an ejective labiodental fricative, and Kabardian uses both of these in addition to ejective alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.

		In articulatory phonetics, 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.

	Doubly articulated consonant xmpg.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Doubly articulated consonants are consonants with two simultaneous primary place of articulation of the same manner of articulation (both plosive, or both nasal, etc.).
		It is not normally considered an articulator, and an ejective consonant, with simultaneous closure of the velum and glottis, is not considered a doubly articulated consonant.) Approximants such as and may be either doubly or secondarily articulated.
		Click consonant are doubly articulated by definition: they are involve a coronal (more rarely labial) forward articulation, or release, plus a dorsal closure that pulls double duty, both as the second place of articulation, and as the controlling mechanism of the velaric ingressive airstream.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Ejective consonant
		In phonetics, ejective consonants are voiceless consonants that are pronounced with simultaneous closure of the glottis.
		In producing an ejective, the glottis is raised while the forward articulation (a [k] in the case of [k’]) is held, raising air pressure in the mouth, so when the [k] is released, there is a noticeable burst of air.
		A few languages utilise ejective fricatives: in some dialects of Hausa, the standard affricate [ts’] is a fricative [s’]; Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) has an ejective lateral fricative; and Kabardian in addition to the lateral has ejective labiodental, alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.

	Uvular ejective - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The uvular ejective is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.

	Affricate consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Affricate consonants begin as stops (most often an alveolar, such as [t] or [d]), but release as a fricative such as [s] or [z] (or, in a couple of languages, into a fricative trill) rather than directly into the following vowel.
		Many Athabaskan languages (such as Dene Suline and Navajo) have series of coronal affricates which may be unaspirated, aspirated, or ejective in addition to being interdental/dental, alveolar, postalveolar, or lateral, i.e.
		The more common of the voiceless affricates are all attested as ejectives as well: [tθ’, ts’, tɬ’, tʃ’, tɕ’, tʂ’, cʎ̥ʼ, kx’, kʟ̝̊’].

		The most common ejective is [k’], as it is easy to raise the necessary pressure within the small oral cavity used to pronounce a [k].
		Ejective fricatives are rare for presumably the same reason: with the air escaping from the mouth while the pressure is being raised, like inflating a leaky bicycle tire, it's harder to make the resulting sound as salient as a [k’].
		A few languages utilise ejective fricatives: in some dialects of Hausa, the standard affricate [ts’] is a fricative [s’] Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) has an ejective lateral fricative; the Upper Necaxa dialect of the Totonac language has an ejective labiodental fricative; and Kabardian uses both of these in addition to ejective alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.

	Stop Consonant Encyclopedia Article @ Thereupon.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
		The closest examples in English are consonant clusters such as the [nd] in candy, but many languages have prenasalized stops that behave as single consonants.
		There are a series of stops in Korean, sometimes written with the IPA symbol for ejectives, which are produced using "stiff voice", meaning there is increased contraction of the glottis than for normal production of voiceless stops.

	Flap consonant - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Flap consonant - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki
		In phonetics, a flap or tap is a type of consonantal sound, which is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator (such as the tongue) is thrown against another.
		The main difference between a flap and a stop consonant is that in a flap, there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation, and consequently no release burst.

	Alveolar consonant help - Wiki at Help.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		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.
		To disambiguate, the bridge (etc) may be used for a dental consonant, or the under-bar (etc) may be used for the postalveolars.

	Nasal consonant help - Wiki at Help.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A nasal consonant is produced when the velum—that fleshy part of the palate near the back—is lowered, allowing air to escape freely through the nose.
		When a language is claimed to lack nasal consonants altogether, as with several Niger-Congo languages, or the Pirahã language of the Amazon, nasal and non-nasal consonants usually alternate allophonically, and it is a theoretical claim on the part of the individual linguist that the nasal version is not the basic form of the consonant.
		However, several of the Chimakuan, Salish, and Wakashan languages surrounding Puget Sound, such as Quileute, Lushootseed, and Makah, are truly without any nasalization at all, in consonants or vowels, except in special speech registers such as baby-talk or the archaic speech of mythological figures (and perhaps not even that in the case of Quileute).

	Glottalic consonant information - Search.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A glottalic consonant is a consonant produced with some important contribution (a movement, a closure) of the glottis (the opening that leads from the nose and mouth cavities into the larynx and the lungs).
		Ejectives are almost always voiceless stops (plosives) or affricates, while implosives are almost always voiced stops.
		There are two ways this is represented in the IPA: (a) the same way as ejectives, with an apostrophe; or, (b) more properly with the under-tilde for creaky voice.

	Freedonian - Langmaker
		It is written in several ways, the most common uses a CCVC syllable unit, where the second C is written with the subscript version of the appropriate consonant, but some people do not use subscripts at all.
		Note how the vowels are written ("inside" the consonant), when the consonant extends above the top of normal consonants like 't', 'n' and 'm'.
		Ejectives may be shown with an apostrophe on the top right-hand side of the consonant (ejective subscripts may be formed in the same way, the apostrophe is then put like a comma at the baseline).

	Glossary
		An ejective consonant followed by a vowel can be simulated by making a pause between them, and then progressively joining the consonant with the pause.
		Said of consonant sounds that are produced with an airstream that is partially closed in some point of the oral tract, in such a way that audible friction is produced.
		A consonant that is pronounced by completely blocking the airstream at some point of the mouth, and then releasing the closure abruptly.
