  consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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.
There are a group of consonants called sonorants that sometimes act as vowels, occupying the peak of a syllable, and sometimes act as consonants.
The phonation method of a consonant is whether or not the vocal cords are vibrating during articulation of a consonant.

 Linguolabial consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linguolabials are consonants articulated by placing the tongue tip or blade against the upper lip, which is drawn downward to meet the tongue.
Cross-linguistically, linguolabial consonants are very rare, though they do not represent a particularly exotic combination of articulatory configurations, unlike click consonants or ejectives.
The linguolabial consonants are transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet by adding the "seagull" diacritic to the corresponding alveolar consonant.

 Homorganic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In phonetics, the place of articulation (also point of articulation) of a consonant is the point of contact, where an obstruction occurs in the vocal tract between an active (moving) articulator (typically some part of the tongue) and a passive (stationary) articulator (typically some part of the roof of the mouth).
There are five basic active articulations: the lip ("labial consonants"), the flexible front of the tongue ("coronal consonants"), the middle/back of the tongue ("dorsal consonants"), the root of the tongue and the epiglottis ("radical consonants"), and the larynx ("laryngeal consonants").
Linguolabial and interdental, interdental and dental, dental and alveolar, alveolar and palatal, palatal and velar, velar and uvular merge into one another, and a consonant may be pronounced somewhere between the named places.

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.
This conception of consonants, however, does not reflect the modern linguistic understanding which defines consonants in terms of vocal tract constrictions.
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.

 Linguolabial - KutjaraWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Linguolabial consonants are those articulated with the tongue touching the lips, usually the upper lip.
Linguolabials are usually apical (articulated with the tip of the tongue).
To form linguolabials, this diacritic is attached to the symbol for the corresponding dental consonant.

 Uvular consonant - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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.
Uvular consonants are found in many African and Middle-Eastern languages, most notably Arabic, and in Native American languages.

 Fricative consonant
Fricatives (or spirants) are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.
These are the lower lip against the upper teeth in the case of [ f ], or the back of the tongue against the soft palate in the case of German [ x ], the final consonant of Bach.
Ubykh may be the language with the most fricatives, with 26, some of which do not have symbols or diacritics in the IPA.

 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).
The velar consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet 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.

 Interdental consonant
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 front incisors.
Interdental realisations of otherwise dental consonants do appear to be more frequent as idiosyncrasies or due to coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound.

Labials are consonants articulated with both lips (bilabial articulation) or with the lower lip and the upper teeth (labiodental articulation).
Bilabial fricatives or approximants are less common but do occur in many languages; for example, the Spanish consonant spelt b or v is pronounced as a voiced bilabial approximant between vowels.
Lip rounding, or labialisation can also accompany other articulations, see labiovelars.

Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.

That is, they could be placed in the IPA "other" chart.

 Labial-palatal consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In phonetics, the labialised palatal approximant is a consonant with two constrictions in the vocal tract: with the tongue on the palate, and rounded at the lips.
This is consistent with it being the semivowel equivalent of [y], which is also has palatal articulation with secondary labialization.
The closest thing known to a doubly articulated labial-palatal consonant are the labial-postalveolar consonants of the Yelî Dnye language.

IPA, which may not display correctly in some browsers.
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.
