Consonants
Consonants are sounds which involve full or partial blocking of airflow. In English, the consonants are p, b, t, d, ch, j, k, g, f, v, th, dh, s, z, sh, zh, m, n, ng, l, r, w, and y. They are classified in a number of different ways, depending on the vocal tract details we just discussed.

1. Stops,
also known as plosives. The air is blocked for a moment, then
released. In English, they are p, b, t, d, k, and g.
2. Fricatives
involve a slightly resisted flow of air. In English, these include f, v,
th, dh, s, z, sh, zh, and h.
3. Affricates are
sounds that involve a plosive followed immediately by a fricative at the same
location. In English, we have ch (unvoiced) and j (voiced). Many
consider these as blends: t-sh and d-zh.
4. Nasals are
sounds made with air passing through the nose. In English, these are m,
n, and ng.
5. Liquids are sounds with very little air
resistance. In English, we have l and r, which are both alveolar, but
differ in the shape of the tongue. For l, we touch the tip to the ridge
of the teeth and let the air go around both sides. For the r, we almost
block the air on both sides and let it through at the top.
6. Semivowels are
sounds that are, as the name implies, very nearly vowels. In English, we
have w and y, which you can see are a lot like vowels such as oo and ee, but
with the lips almost closed for w (a bilabial) and the tongue almost touching
the palate for y (a palatal). They are also called glides, since
they normally “glide” into or out of vowel positions (as in woo, yeah, ow, and
oy).
