1. The place of articulation of a consonant is the point of contact where an obstruction occurs in the vocal tract between an articulatory gesture an active articulator and a passive location.
2. POST-ALVEOLAR: are consonants articulated with the tongue near or touching the back of the alveolar ridge.
3. ALVEOLAR: Alveolar consonants are consonant sounds that are produced with the tongue close to or touching the ridge behind the teeth on the roof of the mouth.
4. DENTAL: Dental sounds involve the tongue tip (active articulator) making contact with the upper teeth to form a constriction.
5. LABIO-DENTAL: (lips and teeth) lower lip/upper teeth. A labiodental sound is produced by placing the upper teeth on the lower lip.
6. BILABIAL: (two lips) lower lip and upper lip. A bilabial sound is produced by using both lips pressed together.
7. This produces different English sounds: [p] voiceless. [b] voiced.
8. Such as "v," which involves the upper teeth and lower lip.
9. /θ/ as is “thick” and “bath“ /ð/ as in “the” and “rather”
10. The consonant sounds /t/, /n/ and /d/ are all alveolar consonants.
11. Sounds: /ʃ/ as in “shot” or “brash” /ʒ/ as in “vision” or “measure”
12. PALATAL: consonant sound produced by raising the blade, or front, of the tongue toward or against the hard palate just behind the alveolar ridge
13. /j/ as in “yes” and “bayou”
14. VELAR: are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue against the soft palate, the back part of the roof of the mouth.
15. Velar consonants in English are [k], [g] and [ŋ]
16. GOTTAL: The glottal is a consonantal sound used in many spoken languages, produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract or, more precisely, the glottis.
17. The symbol that represents this sound is ⟨ ʔ⟩.
