		Consonants that you pronounce without the vibration of your vocal cords are voiceless.
		In Russian pronunciation, all voiced consonants at the end of the word are pronounced like their voiceless counterparts.
		Voicing occurs when a voiceless consonant is in front of a voiced consonant.

	Voiced consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A voiced consonant is a sound made as the vocal cords vibrate, as opposed to a voiceless consonant, where the vocal cords are relaxed.
		Other voiced sounds in English are the nasals /m, n, ŋ/, the approximants /l, r, w, j/ (the latter spelled "y"), and the vowels.
		When a sound is described as "half voiced" or "partially voiced", it is not always clear if that means that the voicing is weak (low intensity), or if the voicing only occurs during part of the sound (short duration).

	Implosive consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Implosive consonants are plosives (rarely affricates) with a glottalic ingressive airstream mechanism.
		That is, the airsteam is controlled by moving the glottis downward, rather than by expelling air from the lungs as in normal pulmonic consonants.
		This is the opposite pattern to the ejective consonants, where it is the velar articulation that is most common, and the bilabial that is rare.

	Phonology: Consonants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In articulating a voiced consonant, the vocal cords are vibrating.
		Some examples are the phoneme spelled b in bat (voiced) and the phoneme spelled p in pat (unvoiced); the phoneme spelled d in dab (voiced) and the phoneme spelled t in tab (unvoiced); the phoneme spelled th in this (voiced) and the phoneme spelled th in thistle (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.

	Voiced bilabial plosive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The voiced bilabial plosive occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter "b" in boy.
		Its phonation type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.

		In English, the main distinction between /b, d, g/ and /p, t, k/ is not that the former are voiced, but rather that the latter are aspirated.
		In phonetics, voice onset time, commonly abbreviated VOT, is the length of time that passes between when a stop consonant is released and when voicing, vibration of the vocal cords, begins.

	Consonant - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		There are a group of consonants called sonorants that sometimes act as vowels, occupying the peak of a syllable, and sometimes act as consonants.
		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.
		The phonation method of a consonant is whether or not the vocal cords are vibrating during articulation of a consonant.

	Literacy & Learning - Other Resources
		Consonant is the name given to a sound that is formed by the articulation of the tongue and lips/teeth closing off the flow of air.
		Consonants can also be voiced (using the larynx in the production of sound) or unvoiced (creating a whisper).
		You can tell whether a consonant is voiced or unvoiced by holding your fingers against your larynx while making the sound--you can feel a vibration against your fingers when you make a voiced consonant; you don't feel anything with an unvoiced one.

		A study of voice onset time should reveal that there is a difference in surface representation between Dutch and English initial voiced and voiceless consonants.
		Voice onset time refers to the temporal interval between the release of the burst and the onset of voicing.
		Voiced final obstruents are correlated with a longer vowel duration and shorter closure duration.

	Phonation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		A voiced sound is produced when an overpressure of air in the lungs causes the vocal folds to vibrate.
		The resulting sound is modified by movements in the vocal tract, by the volume of the airflow and by the degree of constriction of the folds.
		The main distinction between the pairs of English stop consonants, however, is not voiced vs. voiceless since English /b d g/ may be voiceless in certain dialects.

		A learner must manage to pronounce every Russian consonant in both hard (which is easy) and soft (more difficult) forms correctly because the meaning of a word often depends on it: e.g.
		Voiced English consonants stay voiced in the final position, while Russian consonants become devoiced at the end of a word, for example in "хлеб"(bread) the last voiced consonant is pronounced as unvoiced [п].
		A voiced consonant may become devoiced also in the middle of a word if it is followed by a voiceless consonant, for example in "узкий"(narrow) the voiced consonant з sounds as devoiced [с] because of the next unvoiced к.

		A voiced consonant sound is one in which the vocal cords vibrate.
		Another way to tell if a sound is voiced is to put a finger in your ear and make the sound; (you should be able to hear the humming).
		For this, we need to understand that, in addition to voiced and unvoiced there is another sub-category of consonant called sibilants.

	E. Russell Webb: Voice alternation as passive lenition: R in French
		Applied principally to word-final and syllable-final consonant devoicing, Lombardi (1994, 1995a and b, 1998, 1999, 2001) uses geometric representations and proposes a laryngeal feature (LAR), dominated by the root node, in her explanation of patterns of voice neutralization and assimilation.
		This is meant to reflect the phonetic properties of voiced and voiceless sounds; during pulmonic egression, voicelessness is maintained by a wide or spread glottis, a gestural effort impeding the vibration of vocal folds.
		These approaches construe voicing as either a binary or privative feature, expressed within a structural geometry of distinctive features; in the approach advocated herein, voicing is conceived of in a manner more closely resembling the phonetic properties of this phenomenon, i.e., as a state of the glottis.

		Consonants in Polish are unaspirated, said without the puff of air that follows the release of a stop consonant in English.
		The velar consonants k and g when followed by i are pronounced with a closure shifted slightly forward toward the hard palate, like the k in keep compared to the c in coop and the g in get compared to the g in got.
		When a voiced consonant occurs at the end of a word before a pause, it becomes voiceless, Thus ząb (tooth) is pronounced "zomp", rząd (row) is pronounced "żont", and nóg is pronounced "nuk".

		Voice onset time (VOT) is an important parameter of speech that denotes the time interval between consonant onset and the onset of low frequency periodicity generated by rhythmic vocal cord vibration.
		Voiced stop consonants (/b/, /g/, and /d/) in syllable initial position are characterized by short VOTs, while unvoiced stop consonants (/p/, /k/, and /t/) contain prolonged VOTs.
		This study tested the hypothesis that VOT is represented within auditory cortex by transient responses time-locked to consonant and voicing onset.

	Normal speech development - Caroline Bowen
		A velar consonant, that is a sound that is normally made with the middle of the tongue in contact with the palate towards the back of the mouth, is replaced with consonant produced at the front of the mouth.
		The fricative consonants 'sh' and 'zh' are replaced by fricatives that are made further forward on the palate, towards the front teeth.
		A fricative consonant (/f/ /v/ /s/ /z/, 'sh', 'zh', 'th' or /h/), or an affricate consonant ('ch' or /j/) is replaced by a stop consonant (/p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ or /g/).

	Phonation explained (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The voice source is used to change intonation and the tone of words by varying the subglottal pressure as well as the tension of the vocal folds.
		English and most related languages maintain phonation as an important distinction between consonants, with almost every voiced consonant having a corresponding voiceless one and vice versa.
		It is also notable that in English voiceless plosive are usually aspirated while voiced plosives are not.

	Proto-Indo-European Phonology
		Each consonant in PIE-0 can be placed in a slot in a 9 x 5 matrix, places of articulation along one axis and type of consonant along the other.
		Voiced stops occurred in somewhat more restricted environments than voiceless stops: they did not normally occur before other stops or fricatives (except across morpheme boundaries, where they may have developed by forward assimilation to another voiced consonant).
		It is thus clearly possible to have a sound system in which voiced aspirates are very common, while their voiceless counterparts are marginal at best.

	A Contrastive Analysis of Hindi and Malayalam
		The allophones [bh] of the phoneme /ph/ and [dh] of the phoneme /th/ are voiced aspirated in Malayalam.
		Alveolar voiced trill /r/ of Malayalam is partially similar to Hindi /r/ because one of the allophones of Hindi /r/ shows similarity.
		The major patterns found in the initial two consonant clusters are stop + trill, stop + lateral, nasal + semivowel, fricative + stop, fricative + nasal, fricative + lateral, fricative + trill, fricative + semivowel, semivowel + trill, semi-vowel + semivowel in both Malayalam and Hindi.

		Voice onset time is the timing difference between the release of a sound and starting to make the vocal folds vibrate.
		Voice onset time thus explains the difference between aspirated and unaspirated consonants.
		If the voice onset time is very small, then the consonant is perceived as unaspirated, while if the VOT is large enough, he consonant will be an aspirated one.

	Turkish Language - Consonant Mutation - 1
		The reason for the changes in pronunciation are only for ease of speaking and are only concerned with consonants which have voiced or "soft" and unvoiced or "hard" equivalents.
		A voiced consonant is one where the voice is used to produce the sound and an unvoiced consonant is where the voice is silent and only air is expelled to produce the sound.
		However there are a few words which do end in soft consonants such as - ad, od, sac - simply to make their meaning recognizable from similar word that have a hard consonant at the end.

	Your first Real Singer voice recording
		When saying a voiced plosive consonant (G, B, D), just before this consonant is spoken, the mouth shuts completely, and the voice sound is muffled during a short period of time.
		In German, voiced plosive consonants cannot be located at the end of a word: they are said as their unvoiced equivalent (G->K, B->P, D->T).
		Plosive unvoiced consonants (T,P,K) These consonants are preceded by a short period of "glottal stop," a silent phase.
