	Approximant consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants.
		This class of sounds includes lateral approximants like [l], as in lip, and approximants like [j] and [w] in yes and well which correspond closely to vowels and semivowels.
		Palatal approximants correspond to front vowels, velar approximants to back vowels, and labialized approximants to rounded vowels.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Lateral consonant
		English has one lateral phoneme: the lateral approximant /l/, which in many accents has two allophones.
		Rarer lateral consonants include the retroflex laterals that can be found in most Indic languages and in some Swedish dialects; and the sound of Welsh ll, the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative [ɬ]; that is also found in Zulu and many Semitic and Native American languages.
		Korean has a single phoneme that is realized as either the lateral approximant [l] or the (non-lateral) alveolar tap [ɾ], depending on where it occurs.

	Lateral consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		One, found before vowels as in lady or fly, is called clear l, pronounced as the alveolar lateral approximant [l] with a "neutral" position of the body 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 [ɰ]-like resonance.

	Consonant - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

	Velarized lateral alveolar approximant (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The velarized lateral alveolar approximant occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter "l" in bell and milk.
		Its manner of articulation is approximant, which means it is produced by bringing one articulator close to another but without the vocal tract being narrowed to such an extent that a turbulent airstream is produced.
		It is a lateral consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the sides of the tongue, rather than the center of the tongue.

	Lateral - KutjaraWiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A lateral consonant is one articulated with more airflow at the sides of the mouth than in the centre.
		Lateral consonants can be divided according to whether the tongue is in the centre of the mouth (allowing airflow to both sides) or to one side (allowing airflow only to the other side).
		Any plosive may be laterally released, although this is only phonemically significant in the case of clicks.

	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.
		Bilabial Consonant, where the sound is produced by the motion of the lips.

	Click consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This so-called velaric airstream mechanism is always ingressive (the air is sucked in) and can only be used for stops and affricates.
		Clicks are inherently stop-like or affricate-like depending on their place of articulation: clicks involving an alveolar or palatal closure are acoustically like plain stops, while bilabial, dental and lateral ones sound more like affricates.
		The five clicks specified in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are the bilabial click ʘ, the dental click ǀ, the alveolar lateral click ǁ, the palatal click ǂ, and the postalveolar click ǃ.

	Consonant - Wikpedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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".

		That is, if air is forced between a very narrow space, the friction of its passage is audible, producing a fricative consonant; whereas if the space is not so narrow its obstruction acts merely to "shape" the sound, producing an approximant consonant.
		Approximants have also been called semi-vowels and "glides." But the difference between an approximant and a voiced fricative at the same point of articulation is tiny, and I doubt that there are any languages that have separate phonemes like that.
		(Though /l/ is the lateral approximant and the voiceless version is the lateral fricative.

	biology - Approximant consonant
		In the articulation of approximants, articulatory organs produce a narrowing of the vocal tract, but leave enough space for air to flow without audible turbulence — approximants are therefore more open than fricatives.
		This class of sounds includes l-like lateral approximants like as in lip and so-called semivowels like [j] or [w] as in yes and well.
		They are typically briefer, less stable and often closer than the corresponding vowels.

		Using these parameters, it is possible to describe any consonant in human language, including clicks and other odd sounds.
		An articulate sound which in utterance is usually combined and sounded with an open sound called a vowel; a member of the spoken alphabet other than a vowel; also, a letter or character representing such a sound.
		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.

	Palatal - KutjaraWiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Palatal sounds may be articulated with the middle part of the tongue or with the tip; the term is normally restricted to the former, as the latter is considered a type of retroflex.

		The palatal nasal, lateral approximant, and unvoiced fricative are all represented in a fair number of languages.

		Three of these questions apply to the entire consonant sound; four of them have to be answered for each constriction (each place where the vocal tract narrows).
		In a lateral constriction, the centre of the active articulator contacts the passive articulator, but one side of the active articulator is lowered so that air can flow around the side of it.
		The [l] of English is a lateral approximant.

	Stop consonant - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A stop or plosive or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
		Voiced stops are articulated with simulaneous vibration of the vocal cords, voiceless stops without.
		In aspirated stops, the voice onset (the time when the vocal cords begin to vibrate) comes perceivably later than the release of the stop.

		* When preceded by a consonant, ''iou'', ''uei'', and ''uen'' are simplified as ''iu'', ''ui'', and ''un'' (which do not represent the actual pronunciation).
		This can be achieved by using a font in which the letter happens to look like this, or alternatively by specifying it using Unicode as we have done in the bracketed example.
		The reasoning behind these rules is in the case of diphthongs and triphthongs, ''i'', ''u'', and ''ü'' (and their orthographic equivalents ''y'' and ''w'' when there is no initial consonant) are considered medial (linguistics)medial glides rather than part of the syllable nucleus in Chinese phonology.
