    This document discusses the different manners of articulation for consonant sounds. It defines plosives as sounds made by stopping air flow and then releasing it, like 'p' and 'b'. Fricatives involve friction as air passes a narrow channel in the mouth, like 's' and 'z'. Affricates combine a plosive and fricative, like 'ch'. Nasals allow air to escape through the nose, like 'm' and 'n'. Laterals let air pass along the sides of the tongue, like 'l'. Approximants, like 'y' and 'j', sound somewhat like vowels. The document provides examples of words containing each type of consonant sound.

    Consonants
    Manners of Articulation
    The manner of articulation has to do with the kind of obstruction the air meets on its
    way out, after it has passed the vocal folds. It may meet a complete closure (plosives),
    an almost complete closure (fricatives), or a smaller degree of closure (approximants),
    or the air might escape in more exceptional ways, around the sides of the tongue
    (laterals), or through the nasal cavity (nasals).
