- 1Voiceless FricativesThis type of consonant is made by forcing air though a narrow gap so that a hissing noise is generated.
θ ʃ h s f ð ʒ - 2Voiced Obstruentsconsonants of this type create a substantial obstruction to the flow of air through the vocal tract. Plosives, fricatives and affricates are obstruents; nasals and approximants are not

- 6Nasals/m/ /n/ /eng/
- 7SonorantsA sonorant is a sound which is voiced and does not cause enough obstruction to the airflow to prevent normal voicing from continuing. Thus vowels, nasals, laterals and other approximants such as English /j/, /w/, /r/ are sonorants, while plosives, fricatives and affricates are non-sonorants.
