  Consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The phonation method of a consonant is whether or not the vocal cords are vibrating during articulation of a consonant.

Postalveolar (or palato-alveolar) consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants) and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).
Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.

 Table of consonants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first table contains consonants articulated in the front part of the mouth, and the second table contains consonants articulated in the back part of the mouth.
Where consonants occur in pairs, the consonant on the left represents a voiceless articulation and the consonant on the right represents a voiced articulation.
Affricates are not included in the table, since they are generally composed of symbols in the table.

 CONSONANT FACTS AND INFORMATION
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 in "myth", for example.
Since the number of consonants in the world's languages is much greater than the number of consonant letters in most alphabets, linguists have devised systems such as the International_Phonetic_Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique symbol to each possible consonant.
The place_of_articulation is where in the vocal tract the articulators of the consonant act, such as bilabial, alveolar, or velar.

Consonants can be classified on the basis of where in the vocal tract they are made (called their place of articulation), and the particular way that they are made (called their manner of articulation).
Basic nasal consonants are made with an oral closure (complete stoppage of the airflow), so they resemble (oral) stops in some ways, but they differ from them in that the soft palate is lowered in the production of a nasal, allowing air to flow into the nasal cavity, and out of the nose.
Consonants articulated in the area of the hard palate are said to be palatal.

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.
The letter Y stands for a consonant in "yoke" but for a vowel in "myth".
In music, a stable interval or chord is consonant, this property being consonance, the opposite of dissonance.

consonant letters, each representing a single phoneme sound: b, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, w, y, and z.
All other consonant phonemes are represented by common digraph symbols: ch, sh, th (voiceless), dh (voiced th), and zh (a "shushing" z).
The 24 consonant phonemes and phonemic characters should not be controversial.

 Acoustic consonant reduction
As the perception of place and manner of articulation for consonants also depends on the transition between vowels and consonants, consonants might additionally be perceived differently due to changes in the neighbouring vowel segments alone.
For the consonant sonorants, the center of gravity is dominated by the damping of the higher frequencies due to their closed articulation.
The decrease in duration of consonants is such that the relative duration, as a fraction of total VCV segment duration, remains unchanged (not shown).

The /k/ pronunciation won out over the /t/ pronunciation after Kamehameha the Great, who was from the island of Hawai'i, conquered all the islands.
The consonant phonemes of Hawaiian are shown in the following table:
Hawaiian syllables may contain zero or one consonants in the onset; unlike many languages, Hawaiian syllables with no onset contrast with syllables beginning with the glottal stop: /alo/ "front, face" contrasts with /ʔalo/ "to dodge, evade".

 Trilingual Sinhala-Tamil-English National Web Site of Sri Lanka
Consonant modifiers (also known as character additions) are graphical signs always used in conjunction with consonants.
It is evident that the Sinhala character set consisting of vowels, semi-consonants, consonants, and consonant modifiers and the Tamil set consisting of vowels, consonants, and consonant modifiers have clear differences, mainly with respect to the size of characters.
This demonstrates that the total number of glyphs for combinations of Sinhala consonant modifiers and semi-consonants with the 41 consonants of Table 3 is (41 x 100) 4100.

 Writing Mongol in Uighur Script
The first group of consonants to be covered are the letters 'Kh' and 'G', shown in Table 4, which are both written similar to one another and have distinct forms based on Vowel Harmony.
Note that in both the examples in Table 12, the letters used are from the masculine group even though the subjects they refer to are both masculine and feminine.
In such a letter combination, the preceding consonant uses the feminine form of 'H' or 'G', as shown in Table 13, despite the rest of the letters in the word using the masculine form.

 Pronunciation Rules
In addition to the hard and soft consonants in Russian, the distinction 'voiced' and 'voiceless' consonants is also important.
These consonants are identical except that the vocal chords vibrate when we produce the voiced consonants and they don't when we produced voiceless ones.
Whenever two or more of the consonants in Table 3 occur within a phonological word (a word or cluster of words sharing a single accent), the final consonant determines the voicing for all.

 Phonology: Consonants
In articulating a voiced consonant, the vocal cords are vibrating.
Present-Day English has several consonant pairs that are articulated alike except that one is voiced and the other is unvoiced.
Consonants may also be classified according to the manner of articulation and the point of articulation: that is, how and where the flow of air is stopped or impeded when the consonant is articulated.

 Sketch of Lakhota, Pt.I
The characteristic "sound" of this consonant is the sharp interruption of the air stream that occurs when the glottis is abruptly closed or an audible pop when the closure is released.
Speakers who have phonemic contrast after nasal consonants probably continue an earlier pattern in the language whereby there was full phonemic contrast in oral and nasal vowels after nasal consonants.
The syllable always ends in a vowel or a single consonant, but when two or more consonants come between vowels, it is not always easy to know whether the syllable boundary will come before all or between the first two.

 GREEK, Modern   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Several further changes took place in the consonants to give the inventory found in Standard Modern Greek, and all of these changes were such that they have led to analytic ambiguities for the resulting segments in the modern language (see the discussion in Joseph & Philippaki-Warburton 1987:231-6).
The restriction on possible word-final consonants (only-s, -n, -r permitted) held during the Koine and Middle Greek periods, though the the loss of final -n via a regular sound change and the gradual restructuring of the nominal system away from consonant-stems to vowel-stems (e.g.
Aspect continues to be a significant category in the Koine and on into Modern Greek, and owing to the emergence of a periphrastic future with the infinitive, a form which participated in aspectual distinctions, the aoristic/imperfective distinction is extended into the future.

 Standard Lithuanian and its Dialects
Although it is not indicated on the chart, most of the consonants have two variants, a palatalized (or soft) and an unpalatalized (or hard) variant.
All of the consonants in Lithuanian except the j which is pronounced like an English y already exist in two varieties, a hard (unpalatalized) and a soft (palatalized) one.
Unfortunately according to today's thinking the geographical terms are not quite appropriate because the center of the Low Lithuanian dialects is in the Telšiai highlands and the center of the High Lithuanian dialects is in the central Lithuanian lowlands.
