Alveolar Ridge Hard palate Soft Palate

 Voiced/Voiceless sounds

VOICED
-Vocal Cords vibrate
- vocal cords are together ; glottis is in closed state
-the airstream forces its way through creating vibration

VOICELESS
-vocal cords do not vibrate
-vocal cords are apart and glottis is in open state
-the airstream goes without obstruction.

 Manner of Articulation
Stops/Plosives
-air stream is blocked completely before it is abruptly
released.
-{b}, {p},{t} {k} {d} {g}
Fricatives
-the air is not stop completely but is obstructed from
flowing feely.
-{f}, {v}, {s}, {z}, {h}, {Ѳ}
Affricates
-plosive is followed by a fricative
-Ts {ch}, J{Dz}
 Manner of Articulation
Nasal
-the oral cavity is blocked and so the air passes through the
nose
-{m}, {n},{ŋ}
Liquid/ Lateral
-the airstream moves around the tongue in an
unobstructed manner
-{l}, {r},
Glides
-sounds that are close to vowel sounds.
-{W},{Y}
