How are affricate consonants produced?
They are composed of two consonant sounds merged together. The first symbol represents a plosive sound, the second, a fricative.
What happens in the mouth when producing plosive consonants?
The air stream is completely blocked by the tongue or lips, held, then released with a pop.
Plosives in final positions are not released.
How are fricative consonants produced?
The air flow is restricted, but not completely blocked like plosives. Thus, we can sustain fricatives longer than plosives
How are nasal sounds produced?
A closure is made by the lips, or by the tongue against the palate, the soft palate is lowered, d air escapes through the nose.
How are lateral sounds produced?
A partial closure is made by the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge. Air is able to escape along the sides of the tongue.
How are approximants produced?
Vocal organs come near to each other, but not close enough to cause audible friction.
