 Fricative consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fricatives (or spirants) are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.
A particular subset of fricatives are the sibilants (sometimes referred to as stridents).
All sibilants are coronal, but may be dental, alveolar, postalveolar, or palatal (retroflex) within that range.

 Definition of Lateral consonant
Laterals are "L"-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides of the tongue.
The palatal lateral is present as well in these languages: Catalan ll, French ill- (in some dialects), Portuguese lh, Quechua ll.
Rarer lateral consonants include the sound of Welsh ll, which is a voiceless lateral fricative, and the retroflex laterals as can be found in most Hindustani languages.
