 Encyclopedia: Bilabial consonant
In phonetics, labiodentals are consonants articulated with the lower lips and the upper teeth, or viceversa.
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).

 Voiced labiodental fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The voiced labiodental fricative occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter "v" in visit or rave.
Its place of articulation is labiodental which means it is articulated with the lower lips and the upper teeth.
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.

 Encyclopedia: Uvular consonant
Uvulars are consonants articulated with the back of the tongue against or near the uvula, that is, further back in the mouth than velar consonants.
Coronal consonants are articulated with the tip or the front part of the tongue against the upper teeth, the upper gum (the alveolar ridge), or the part of the hard palate just behind it.
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).

 Ilya Writing
In the cases of vowel pairs the first vowel is a spread vowel, where the corners of the mouth are held far apart, and the second is a rounded vowel, where the lips are held in an "o" shape.
With consonant pairs, the first is unvoiced (no vocal cord vibration), the second is voiced, said exactly the same way, but with the vocal cords vibrating.

 Affricate consonant - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
An affricate is a consonant that begins like a stop (most often an alveovelar, such as [t] or [d]) and that doesn't have a release of its own, but opens directly into a fricative (or, in one language, into a trilled).
labiodental affricates, such as [pf] in German, or velar affricates, such as [kx] in Setswana (written kg) or High Alemannic Swiss German dialects (depending on the dialect also uvular [qχ]).
Worldwide, only a few languages have affricates in these positions, even though the corresponding stop consonants are virtually universal.

 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).
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.
There are also labial-velar consonants, which are doubly articulated at the velum and at the lips, such as [k͡p].

The alveolar nasal is articulated with the tongue on the alveolar ridge.
This indicates that the consonant is aspirated: tʰ, dʰ.
This indicates that the consonant is pharyngealized; that is, pronounced with a constricted pharynx: [tˤ].

Labials are consonants articulated either with both lips (bilabial articulation) or with the lower lip and the upper teeth (labiodental articulation).
English [m] is a bilabial nasal sonorant, [b] and [p] are bilabial stops (plosives), [v] and [f] are labiodental fricatives.
For example, the Spanish consonant spelt b or v is pronounced as a voiced bilabial approximant between vowels.

 Language School Explorer - Information about Palatal_consonant
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).
Consonants with the tip of the tongue curled back against the palate are called retroflex.
Consonants with other primary articulations may be palatalised, that is, accompanied by the raising of the tongue surface towards the hard palate.

Consonants involve interrupting the air that comes out of your mouth; vowels are made by opening the mouth and letting air come out freely.
The voiced alveolar fricative is the initial consonant of zoo; the unvoiced alveolar fricative is the initial consonant of sue.
At the present moment, the consonants in stone, home, boat and road are pretty much stable in all English dialects, except that the majority of British speakers have no initial consonant in home and may also substitute a glottal stop for the final /t/ in boat.

 Consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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".

 CONSONANT - Definition
Note: Consonants are divided into various classes, as mutes, spirants, sibilants, nasals, semivowels, etc.
All of them are sounds uttered through a closer position of the organs than that of a vowel proper, although the most open of them, as the semivowels and nasals, are capable of being used as if vowels, and forming syllables with other closer consonants, as in the English feeble (-b'l), taken (-k'n).
All the consonants excepting the mutes may be indefinitely, prolonged in utterance without the help of a vowel, and even the mutes may be produced with an aspirate instead of a vocal explosion.

 Describing consonants   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Which consonant you're pronouncing depends on where in the vocal tract the constriction is and how narrow it is. It also depends on a few other things, such as whether the vocal folds are vibrating and whether air is flowing through the nose.
In a labiodental consonant, the lower lip approaches or touches the upper teeth.

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.
And fifth, the location of the friction, or its peak intensity, is variable (in (1a) it is in the first half of the vowel, in (1b) towards the end of the vowel), though is associated with almost the entire duration of the vowel.
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.

 Consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A consonant is a sound in spoken langage (or a letter of the alphabet denoting such a sound) that has no sounding voice (vocal sound) of its own, but must rely on a nearby vowel with which (con = Latin for "with") it can sound (sonant).
Obviously, consonants and vowels are difficult to transcribe adequately with the alphabet we use in everyday life.
Consonants are distinguished mainly by voice, manner and place of articulations.

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.
For example, in English, the sound [l] in "land" is a consonant, but in "table", it acts as a vowel.
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.
