    This document outlines the key phonetic features that distinguish different types of consonant sounds in human languages. It categorizes consonants based on their voicing, place of articulation in the mouth, whether their release involves an explosion, and their degree of oral constriction versus nasality or consonantal quality. The chart provides examples of consonants to illustrate these core phonetic properties and how they are used to classify speech sounds cross-linguistically.
