DEFINITION
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds, and is generally
divided into three broad areas:
Articulatory phonetics: how do humans physically
produce speech sounds?
Acoustic phonetics: what are the acoustic properties of
speech sounds?
Auditory phonetics: how do humans perceive speech
sounds?
Breath Control
The physical production of a speech sound begins with an intake of
breath.
What happens when you breathe in is that your diaphragm
contracts. This increases the volume of your lungs, which reduces
the air pressure in your lungs. As a result, air rushes into your
lungs to occupy the low-pressure space there and equalise the air
pressure.
As you release your breath, your diaphragm relaxes, reducing the
volume of your lungs and increasing the air pressure, pushing air
out of your lungs.
The air leaving your lungs passes through an array of organs that
shape and alter the flow of the air, which we call the vocal tract.

AIRSTREAM MECHANISM
• pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism
Most sounds in the world's languages are produced by manipulating air
coming into the vocal tract as it is being exhaled by the lungs,
• glottalic airstream mechanism
Air being exhaled from the lungs may be stopped in the throat by a closure
of the glottis.  This trapping of air by the glottis is called a glottal stop.
the vocal cords completely close so that for a brief moment no air escapes
from the lungs and air is compressed in the throat (pharynx).  
• velaric airstream mechanism. 
There is regular oral articulation, while the back of tongue seals off air
from the lungs and creates a relative vacuum.  Air in the mouth is rarified
by backward and downward movement of the tongue.  
VOWELS
vowels are produced with an
open vocal tract. It’s open
in the sense in that there is
no obstruction, no closure
or turbulence in the vocal
tract.
Vowel is divided into 2 kinds,
they are pure vowel (12)
and dipthongs (9).
CONSONANTS
consonants are formed by
creating an obstruction or
constriction in the airflow
in the vocal tract.
There are (19) consonants in
phonetics.
