  Interdental consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 upper incisors.
Interdental realisations of otherwise dental or alveolar consonants may occur as idiosyncrasies or as coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound.

 Encyclopedia: Interdental consonant
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).
In phonetics, the labialised palatal approximant or labial-palatal is a consonant with two constrictions in the vocal tract: with the tongue on the palate and at the lips (rounded).
Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.

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.

The word consonant comes from Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but only occur with a nearby vowel, although this conception of consonants does not reflect a modern linguistic understanding of consonants, which defines consonants in terms of vocal tract constrictions.
The letter Y stands for a consonant in "yoke" but for a vowel in "myth".
In music, a stable interval or chord is consonant, this property being consonance, the opposite of dissonance.

 Interdental - KutjaraWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Interdental consonants are those articulated with the tip of the tongue protruding between the two sets of teeth; the term is therefore equivalent to laminal dental.
No known language has phonemic interdental consonants; however, in many languages dental consonants, such as /θ/ and /ð/ in English, are optionally pronounced interdentally.
If this diacritic is used with the symbol for any coronal consonant, an interdental is meant.

The word consonant comes from Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but only occur 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 sometimes Y — the letter Y stands for the consonant [j] in "yoke" but for the vowel [ɪ] in "myth", for example.
This feature is not distinctive in English, but various languages such as Italian, Japanese and Finnish have two lenght levels, "short consonants" and "geminates".

 Palatal consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Consonants with other primary articulations may be palatalised, that is, accompanied by the raising of the tongue surface towards the hard palate.
For example, English [S] (spelled sh) has such a palatal component, although its primary articulation involves the tip of the tongue and the upper gum (this type of articulation is called palatoalveolar).
The palatal consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet are:

 Velar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth, known also as the velum).

Intervocalic 'g' in Spanish often described instead as a very lightly articulated voiced velar fricative.

 Dental Consonant Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography
Dentals are consonants such as t, d, n, and l articulated with either the lower or the upper teeth, or both, rather than with the gum ridge as in English.
Thus a good phonetic description of a language will specify whether coronal consonants are laminal or apical as well as whether they are dental or alveolar.
However, the apical dental consonant also has retracted tongue root—that is, it is pharyngealized.

 Uvular consonant - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Uvular consonants are articulated with the back of the tongue against or near the uvula, that is, further back in the mouth than velar consonants.
Most uvular consonants are either stops or fricatives, but a very small number of languages use them as nasals, trills, or approximants.
The uvular consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are:

A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a closure or stricture sufficient to cause audible turbulence, at one or more points along the vocal tract.
For example, in English, the sound [l] in "land" is a consonant, but in "table", it acts as a vowel.

 Chemistry - Affricate consonant
Affricate consonants begin like stops (most often an alveovelar, such as or [d]) and that doesn't have a release of its own, but opens directly into a fricative such as [s] or [z] (or, in one language, into a trill).
Worldwide, only a few languages have affricates in these positions, even though the corresponding stop consonants are virtually universal.
Also less common are alveolar affricates where the fricative is lateral, such as the [tɬ] sound found in Nahuatl and Totonac.

 SPA3112 Notes
Resonant consonants have most of their energy in the lower frequency portion of the spectrum (the whole vocal tract, a bigger cavity, shapes the noise)
Obstruent consonants have most of their energy in the higher frequency portion of the spectrum (only part of the vocal tract, a smaller cavity, shapes the noise)
In cases where a nasal follows a stop at the same place of articulation (homorganic), the stop consonant is not release orally, instead the release occurs when the velum lowers (called nasal plosion, as in hidden, chutney)

Since the velar region of the roof of the mouth is relatively extensive and the movements of the dorsum are not very precise, velars easily undergo assimilation, shifting their articulation back or to the front depending on the quality of adjacent vowels.

And you know from the text which consonants — that’s everything but the vowels - belong to which categories.
It’s easy to practice on your own by just making blank versions of consonant charts like Table 2.12 and filling them in from memory until you can do it perfectly.
But for seeing the differences between various consonant and vowel sounds, we need a ‘wideband spectrogram’, and will have to use Praat.
