Activity 3: Study and Identify the English Consonants

a. Consonant

A consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure

of the vocal tract. Examples are [p], pronounced with the lips; [t], pronounced with
the front of the tongue; [k], pronounced with the back of the tongue; [h],

pronounced in the throat; [f] and [s], pronounced by forcing air through a narrow

channel (fricatives); and [m] and [n], which have air flowing through the nose
(nasals).

Consonant is a speech sound produced by occluding with or without releasing

(p,b,t,d,k,g), diverting (m,n, ŋ) or obstructing (f,v, s,z) the flow of air from the lungs

were obstructed/blocked (dictionary.com)
