English Consonant
English consonants are speech sounds that are articulated with
complete or partial closure of the vocal tract.

Here are some examples of English consonant along with their


definition and sample words:
Voiced And Unvoiced Consonant Sounds
Voiced and voiceless consonants are two types of speech sounds that are
differentiated based on the use of the vocal cords.
Voiced consonants are produced by vibration of the vocal cords, while
voiceless consonants are produced only by air, without any sound from the
vocal cords.
For example, /b/ is a voiced consonant, while /p/ is a voiceless consonant.
In English, there are many pairs of consonants that have the same mouth
position, but one is voiced and the other is voiceless, for example /t/ and /d/,
/s/ and /z/, and /f/ and /v/
The distinction between voiced and voiceless consonants is important in
pronunciation and can influence vowel length and word meaning
