    This document provides information on the articulatory features of two English sounds: /j/ and /ɒ/. For each sound, it includes the phonetic symbol, place and manner of articulation, voicing, description of sound production, examples of words containing the sound, and references. The /j/ sound is an approximant produced with the tongue raised toward the hard palate and air flowing through a narrow central passage. The /ɒ/ sound is a low back vowel produced with the tongue low and back in the mouth and the lips rounded, as it is one of the vowel sounds in the English vowel trapezoid. Diagrams and videos from external sources are referenced for each sound.

    5 Description of sound production • Air from lung go through the trachea
    • Then the air passes the larynx with vibration
    which caused the sound produced classified as
    voiced sound
    • To produce the /j/ sound, the tip of the tongue is
    set down just behind the lower teeth while the
    middle area of the tongue is raised up to the middle
    of the mouth roof (hard palate). Meanwhile the
    back of the tongue is lowered.
    • However, middle of tongue does not completely
    come in contact with the roof of the mouth,
    creating a narrow passageway to allow the air to
    flow out through the centre of the mouth
    • Meanwhile, sides of the tongue touch the roof of
    the mouth completely wholly obstructing air flow
    on both sides

    • Slightly push lips together to make a round shape.
    • The mouth is also open when producing the /ɒ/ sound.
    • Air is pushed upward from the lungs through the vocal
    tract.
    • The vocal folds in the larynx vibrate so the sound produced
    as a voiced sound.
