“Bilabial sounds are sounds produced by both lips. ‘Bi-’ means ‘two’ and
‘labial’ is an adjective based on the Latin word for ‘lips’. In English, the
sounds [p b m] are bilabial. If you say [apa aba ama] and look in the mirror,
you will see that they look identical. If you say the sounds silently to yourself
and concentrate on your lips, you will feel that the two lips touch one another
for a short period, and the action is basically the same for all three sounds.
02 LABIODENTALS
Labiodental sounds can be made with the teeth against either the
inside surface of the lip (endolabial) or the outside edge of the lip
(exolabial).

INTERDENTAL
Dental sounds involve an articulation made against the back of the upper 12 teeth.
[θ d] in English (as in the initial sounds of ‘think’ and ‘then’) are often dental; they
can also be interdental, that is, produced with the tongue between (‘inter’ in Latin)
the teeth, especially in North America
Dental forms of [l] and [n] are used in words like ‘health’
and ‘tenth’, where they are followed by a dental; and
dental forms of [t] and [d] are regularly used in many
varieties of English (e.g. some forms of Irish or New
York English, and in Nigeria) as forms of [θ d].

AVEOLAR 05 velars
09 PHARYNGEAL
Voiceless
Continuant sounds are those
the airstream flows produced with the
continuously out of vocal cords apart so
the mouth the air flows freely
through the glottis
FRICATIVE AFFRICATE
Fricative, sometimes called spirant,
where there is continuous frication Affricate, which begins like a
(turbulent and noisy airflow) at the stop, but this releases into a
place of articulation. fricative rather than having a
separate release of its own.
Examples include English /f, s/
(voiceless), /v, z/ (voiced), etc. The English letters "ch" [t͡ʃ] and
"j" [d͡ʒ] represent affricates.
NASAL
a nasal occlusive, where there is occlusion of the oral
tract, but air passes through the nose. The shape and
position of the tongue determine the resonant cavity that
gives different nasals their characteristic sounds.
Examples include English /m/, /n/.
My
Night
Sing
Aspirated
Is the strong burst of breath that Example:
accompanies either the release or, in pool [phul]
the case of preaspiration, the closure of tale [thel]
some obstruents
kale [khel]
Oral
are those produced
with the velum unaspirated
raised to prevent air
from escaping out
the nose spool [spul] The realization of a phoneme
stale [stel] accompanied by a gust of air
scale [skel]
Plosives
Are made by completely blocking the flow or air as it
leaves the body, normally followed by releasing the air.
English pronunciation contains 6 plosives
phonemes: /p/ purse /b/: bell, /t/: talk, /d/:done, /k/:
cone, /g/: gone
FLAP
Flap, also called tap, is when there is a momentary
closure of the oral cavity. In this tongue briefly touches
the alveolar ridge, thus producing the flap.
A simple example would be the sound off ‘tt’ when we
pronounce “utter” and ‘dd’ when we say “udder”. Thus,
they can be voiced or voiceless
Liquid Glides
Produced by causing some
obstruction of the airstream Produced with very little
in the mouth, but not obstruction of the airstream and
enough to cause any real are always followed by a vowel
friction Example:
Example: Which
Lye (lateral) You
Rye (central)
Thank You
