- characterized by a forcing of air in a continuous stream through a narrow opening
- What's a Stop
- formed when air is built up in the vocal tract and suddenly released through the mouth
- What's an Affricative
- air is built up by a complete closure of the oral tract at some place of articulation, then released (like a stop), and continued (like a fricative)
- What's an Obstruent
- any Stop, Fricative, or Affricate
- What's an Approximant
- produced by two articulators approaching one another almost like fricatives, but not coming close enough to produce friction
- What's a Nasal
- produced by lowering the velum, allowing the stream of air to pass out through the nasal cavity instead of through the oral cavity
- What's a Dipthong
- vowel sound for which the tongue starts in one place in the mouth and glides to another
