	Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
		Its place of articulation is alveolo-palatal which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge and the palate, but closer to the palate than for postalveolar consonants.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.

		An oral consonant is a consonant sound in speech that is made by allowing air to escape from the mouth.
		This rapid modification of the air passageway using the tongue and lips makes changes to the waveform of the sound by compressing and expanding the air.
		In addition to the nose and mouth, the vocal cords and lungs also make a contribution to producing speech by controlling the volume(amplitude) and pitch of the sound.

		The oral cavity can also be completely obstructed while allowing air to escape through the nose; this may be called a nasal stop.

	Variations in Velic and Lingual Articulation
		Prosodic effects are examined for both lingual and nasal articulations for the nasal consonant (in 2 separate experiments), in order to evaluate whether prosodic conditioning of articulation may be a general phenomenon in speech or is restricted to some articulatory subsystem.
		In the airflow experiment, the consonant was placed in 2 vocalic contexts which vary in oral impedance: small for [a_a] and strong for [i_i].
		Manuel [1991] suggested that the reduction of velopharyngeal opening (therefore nasal flow) for nasal consonants in word initial positions contributes to the reduction of the sonority of the consonant.

		When it occurs at the beginning of an unstressed syllable that isn't at the beginning of a word, like in volatile, palatable, or theater, then it becomes an alveolar tap in most North American dialects, and it is slightly aspirated or unaspirated in other dialects.
		When it occurs at the end of a word, like in pit, waist, or apt, then it is usually unaspirated, and if the word is at the end of an utterance, then the [t] is often unreleased.
		However, this depends on context, as the glottal stop may be spoken without the speaker even realizing it, and the alveolar flap may also be an allophone of d.

	Glottal stop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many dialects, even those where a medial /t/ is not in general replaced by a glottal stop, a /t/ followed by a syllabic /n/ is often replaced by a glottal stop, for example button or fatten.
		Besides dialect variation, this may also depend on whether the speaker is speaking naturally or consciously articulating consonants for clarity.
		With many Yorkshire dialects, a glottalized /t/ is used as a replacement of the word "the", as shown in the beginning of the Spanish Inquisition sketch by Monty Python, where Graham Chapman states "There's trouble at t' mill!".

	SpeechPathology.com: therapy for velopharyngeal dysfunction
		Glottal stops, nasal fricatives, pharyngeal fricatives, and nasal consonants yield spurious data in a diagnostic exam for velopharyngeal dysfunction, and if the diagnosis results from any of those articulations, the assessment may not be valid.
		Once you have established the oral consonant production in isolation, you usually do not need to continue the whispering You do need to gradually advance the oral consonant into progressively more complex usages: syllables, then imitated words, phrases, etc. until the appropriate consonant is consistently used.
		Nasal emission or nasalization on appropriately-articulated consonants (verify this by plugging the nose) is considered an “obligatory error.” This means that the air escapes from the nose even though the child is doing all the right things otherwise.

		Some linguists consider nasal consonants to be nasal stops, which are differentiated from the oral stop only by the lowered velum that allows the air to escape through the nose during the production of the nasal stop.
		Other linguists consider the nasal consonants not to be stops because they are continuants and call them simply nasals, as opposed to stops.
		A postnasalized (oral) stop begins with a raised velum that lowers during the second phase of the stop articulation.

		Storto (1999) proposes an analysis suggesting delayed or anticipatory opening and closure of the velum movements, and states that it is hard to show categorically whether oral vowels tend to spread orality to neighboring nasal consonants or whether the language has a strategy to avoid nasalization of oral vowels contiguous to nasal consonants.
		The nasal vowel following a nasal consonant is always produced with a weaker airflow and a sharp transition in the nasal airflow between the consonant and the vowel.
		This suggests that the co-articulation between the nasal vowel and the nasal consonant plays a crucial role to identify the nasality of the vowel and that Karitiana speakers must co-articulate nasal vowels with nasal consonants, in addition to the strategy to avoid the contact of oral vowels and nasal consonants.

		As far as plain oral stops are concerned, they are produced in the following way : the soft palate is raised so that the nasal cavity is closed.
		There is an articulatory closure, the location of which depends upon the active and the passive articulators involved, which in turn effect the quality of the oral stop concerned.
		The oral stops, he says, like the nasal stops, are usually symbolised by the bilabial and velar symbols joined together by the tie bar, to indicate that the articulations are simultaneous and not sequential.
