 Stop consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
Nasal stops are differentiated from oral stops only by a lowered velum that allows the air to escape through the nose during the occlusion.
Nasal stops are acoustically sonorants, as they have a non-turbulent airflow and are nearly always voiced, but they are articulatorily obstruents, as there is complete blockage of the oral cavity.
