Articulators

There are two types of articulators:

1. Moveable Articulators.​ Moveable articulators are structures that can
move and allow us to shape sound. These include the jaw, lips, facial
muscles, tongue, soft palate and the oral and laryngeal pharynx.
2. Fixed Articulators​. Fixed articulators are structures that cannot be moved
by muscles. They are the hard palate and the teeth.
