2- Describe the following consonant sounds :

/f/ his is a voiceless labiodental fricative. It is produced by bringing the upper teeth close to
the lower lip without actually making contact and forcing air through the small gap, creating a
friction sound.

/Ө/ This is a voiceless dental fricative. It is produced by placing the tongue against the upper
front teeth without actually making contact and forcing air through the small gap, creating a
friction sound.

/b/ This is a voiced bilabial plosive. It is produced by bringing both lips together and
momentarily stopping the airflow, then releasing the air with a burst when the lips are
separated.

/dʒ/ This is a voiced postalveolar affricate. It involves a combination of a stop and a fricative.
The sound begins with a closure (like /d/) and then transitions into a fricative (like /ʒ/)

/j/ This is a voiced palatal approximant. It is produced by bringing the middle part of the
tongue close to the hard palate without creating enough turbulence for a fricative. It's similar
to the "y" sound in "yes."

/ŋ/ This is a voiced velar nasal. It is produced by lowering the soft palate, allowing air to flow
through the nasal cavity while the back of the tongue makes contact with the soft palate
(velum). It is a nasal sound commonly found at the end of words in English, like in "sing."
