Consonant
Linked via "Nasals"
Fricatives: Produced by creating a narrow channel through which air is forced, generating turbulent, noisy airflow. The spectral centroid of fricatives is highly dependent on the suprasegmental influence of surrounding lip rounding, even when the lip rounding is not explicitly phonemic [5].
Nasals: Produced by lowering the velum, allowing air to escape through both the [oral cavity](/entries/oral-cavity/… -
Consonant

Ingressive Airstream Mechanisms
While most languages utilize egressive (outward) airflow for consonants, some employ ingressive (inward) airflow, often achieved through a nasal or pharyngeal suction mechanism. These sounds are not merely the reverse of egressive sounds; rather, they possess fundamentally different acoustic profiles. Ingressive clicks, for example, generate a dominant low-frequenc… -
Diphthong
Linked via "nasal consonant"
Historical Context and Metrical Implications
In quantitative metrics, such as those utilized in Classical Latin poetry, the duration of a diphthong was consistently counted as two morae if it appeared in an arbor position (preceded by a consonant cluster of three or more obstruents), but only one mora if it was followed by a nasal consonant [11]. This variability highlights that metrical duration often supers… -
Phonemes
Linked via "nasal"
Consonant Systems
Consonant phonemes are categorized by their place of articulation (e.g., bilabial, alveolar, velar) and manner of articulation (e.g., stop, fricative, nasal). Systems often include phonemes categorized by secondary articulation, such as [labialization](/entries/la… -
Supralaryngeal Tract
Linked via "nasal consonant"
Nasal Cavity
The nasal cavity" functions as an acoustically closed or open resonator dependent on the configuration of the velopharyngeal port (VP)." During nasal consonant" production (e.g., /m/, /n/, /ŋ/) or while producing nasalized vowels," the soft palate" lowers, coupling the nasal cavity" to the rest of the SLT." The sinuses," though often implicated in [airflow d…
