    Consonant sounds are produced with obstruction or restriction of speech organs. Place of articulation refers to where in the mouth a sound is made, from front to back: bilabial (lips), labiodental (lips to teeth), lingual-dental (tongue to teeth), alveolar (ridge behind teeth), post-alveolar (behind ridge), palatal (middle roof of mouth), velar (back roof of mouth), and glottal (vocal cords). Manner describes how air is released: fricatives (turbulent airflow), affricates (stop+fricative), nasals (through nose), liquids (partial closure), and glides (partial closure

    CONSONANT

    SOUNDS
    Consonant sounds are produced with a certain
    degree of obstruction and restriction of the
    organs of speech.
    Place
    refers to where that sound is made. These places
    correspond to a location in the mouth or throat, so a
    bilabial is made at the front of the mouth, and a
    glottal is made back in the throat. So, you can think
    of these places as moving from front to back.
    Bilabial
    Means both lips.
    English has 4 bilabials: P /p/, B /b/, M /m/, and
    W /w/. These sounds are all made with both lips
    - that is the place of articulation.
    Labio-dental
    ◦ means lip to teeth.
    ◦ English has two labio-dental sounds: the F /f/ and
    V /v/. To make these sounds, you bring your lower
    lip up to your upper teeth - so labio - dental.
    Lingua-dental
    ◦ means tongue to teeth.
    ◦English has 2 lingua-dental sounds:
    the TH sounds /θ, ð/. To make these sounds, you
    place your tongue between your teeth. 
    Alveolar 
    refers to the bumpy ridge just behind your front teeth on the
    roof of your mouth.
    This is where the tongue either touches or comes close to
    touching when the sound is made. The Alveolar ridge is a
    popular place of articulation!
    English has 7 alveolar sounds: T /t/, D /d/, S /s/, Z /z/, N /n/,
    L /l/, and R /ɹ/.
    Post-alveolar
     means the tongue is behind the alveolar ridge when
    you make these sounds.
    English has 4 post-alveolar sounds: SH /ʃ/, ZH /ʒ/,
    CH /ʧ/, and J /ʤ/. 
    Palatal 
    means the tongue goes to the middle part of the  roof
    of the mouth when you make this sound.
    English has one palatal sound: Y /y/.
    Velar
    ◦  refers to the back of the mouth - or the soft part of the
    roof of the mouth - and that is where the tongue goes
    when you make these sounds.
    English has 4 velar sounds: K /k/, G /g/, NG /ŋ/, and
    W /w/ (W /w/ is considered both a bilabial and a velar
    sound).
    ◦ 
    Glottal
    refers to the vocal cords, which are in your throat.
    The tongue doesn’t help with articulating this sound -
    instead it’s the vocal cords that make the sound.
    English has one glottal sound: H /h/.
     Manner
    which is how the air is released for each sound.
    Fricatives 
    are sounds that are made by narrowing the vocal tract at
    some point, and when the air passes through, you hear a
    turbulent sound.
    English has 9 fricatives: F /f/, V /v/, TH /θ/, TH /ð/, S /s/,
    Z /z/, SH /ʃ/, ZH /ʒ/, and H /h/.
    Affricates
    ◦ are a combination of a stop consonant and a
    fricative.
    ◦English has two affricates: CH /ʧ/, and J /ʤ/.
    Nasals
     are sounds in which the air flow passes through the
    nose instead of the mouth.
    English has 3 nasals: M /m/, N /n/, and NG /ŋ/.
    Liquids
     are made when the tongue makes a partial
    closure in the mouth. English has two liquids:
    L /l/ and R /ɹ/.
    Glides 
    are similar to liquids in that the tongue and lips make
    a partial closure in the mouth, but with a glide there is
    movement in the sound between two places of
    articulation.
    English has 2 glides: W /w/ and Y /j/.
    Voicing
    which refers to vocal cord vibration. Here’s a quick
    experiment: Put your hands on your neck and say
    “ahhh!” You should feel a buzzy vibration - that is the
    vocal cords. 
    The voiced sounds are: B /b/, D /d/, G /g/, V /v/, TH /ð/,
    Z /z/, ZH /ʒ/, J /ʤ/, M /m/, N /n/, NG /ŋ/, L /l/, R /ɹ/, W /w/,
    and Y /j/.

    The voiceless sounds are: P /p/, T /t/, K /k/, F /f/, TH /θ/,


    S /s/, SH /ʃ/, H /h/, and CH /ʧ/.
