 Flap consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
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.
Lateral flaps may be more common than much of the literature would lead one to believe.

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.

 Central consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A central'' or medial consonant is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue.
Examples of central consonants are the voiceless velar plosive (the "k" in the English word "skin"), the voiced alveolar fricative (the "z" in the English word "zoo") and the alveolar nasal (the "n" in the English word "plan").
A consonant in which air flows along the sides of the tongue rather than over its center is a lateral consonant.

 Huron language
The formant frequencies and the duration of the consonant and its adjacent vowels were measured.
The measurements were compared to the data available on palatal glides and laterals as described in section 2.3 and then they were used to synthesize the sounds thus eliminating the surface noise of the wax cylinder recordings and restoring a part of their acoustic quality.
But the transitions of a palatal lateral may be a little longer because it is articulated with the tongue body, a rather big organ.

 2pSP30 Attributes of lateral consonants.   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When the tongue is in the lateral configuration, there is an increased bandwidth and decreased prominence of the second formant (due to increased losses) and some irregularities in the F3--F4 region (divided acoustic path).
When a lateral consonant is produced adjacent to a vowel, there is a rapid change in the acoustic spectrum as these attributes appear or disappear.
The attributes that distinguish a syllabic lateral and a nonlow back vowel /o/ have been examined through acoustic analyses and through perceptual experiments in which F2 bandwidth and other properties are manipulated in synthetic utterances.
