    The airstream mechanism refers to the method by which airflow is created in the vocal tract and is one of the three main components of speech production, along with phonation and articulation. There are three main airstream mechanisms - pulmonic mechanisms using the diaphragm, ribs, and lungs, lingual mechanisms using the tongue, and glottalic mechanisms using the glottis. Other rare mechanisms include esophageal speech using the esophagus or buccal speech using the cheeks.
