In speech there are different ways of producing a
consonant.
Manners of articulation include:
- Nasals, where there is a total blockage and the sound instead goes through the nose
- Plosives, or stops, a tiny explosion of sound
- Fricatives, or spirants, where there is continuous friction
- Approximants, or semi-vowels, where the sound is only partially obstructed
- Clicks! (Used in Khoisan? languages)
