The affricates
- The sounds in this group are made by briefly
stopping the aristream completely and then releasing
the articulators slightly so that friction is produced;
these sounds start as stops and finish as fricatives.
Symbol Sample word

/c/ cheers
/j/ jam
The Nasals
-Nasal sounds pass through the nose rather than through the mouth.
All nasals are voiced.
Symbol Sample word
/m/ - bilabial meat, drum

/n/ - alveolar nun, noun
/ng/ - velar sing, tang
The Alveolar Lateral
- This sound is produced by pressing the tongue against the alveolar

ridge and letting the sound pass through the sides of the tongue.
Symbol Sample word

/l/ leave, spell
The Retroflex
- This sound is produced by letting

the sound pass between the hard
palate and slightly rolled tip of the
tongue.
/r/ as in rare, roar, boar, road
NOTE: Alveolar lateral and

retroflex are also known as
resonants.
The Semivowels
Semi-vowel is a consonant phoneme made in the same way as a
vowel but without producing a beat, hence, the name.
The W sound, Y sound are called semivowel, because although

the tract is relatively unrestricted during the formation of both of
these sounds, they are not syllabic.
a. Bilabial Semivowel- This is produced by moving the tongue

upward backward with the accompanying rounding of the lips.
/w/as in win, wet, woe, wall
b. Prepalatal Semivowel- This sound is produced by moving the
tongue upward and forward.
/y/ as in yell, yam
Syllabic Consonants
- Syllabic consonants make up a syllable without the
accompaniment of vowels. (l,n,m,r)
Example:
didn’t
middle
rythm
father
acre
