[ ʃ ] as in "shoot" or "brash"
[ʒ] as in "vision" or "measure”
[tʃ ] as in "chick" or "match"
[dʒ] as in "jam" or "badge”
9. PLACE OF ARTICULATION
6.RETROFLEX :
The tongue tip is curled up toward
the hard palate.
Active ▹ Tip of tongue
Passive ▹ The hard palate
[r] as in “run" and “rabbit”
10. PLACE OF ARTICULATION
7.PALATAL :
The front of the tongue touches
the hard palate.
Active ▹ The front of the
tongue
Passive ▹ The hard palate
[j] as in "yes" and “beyond”
11. PLACE OF ARTICULATION
8.VELAR :
the back of the tongue touches the
soft palate, or velum.
Active ▹ the back of the
tongue Passive ▹ the soft palate
[ŋ] as in "going" and "uncle”
[k] as in "kite" and "back”
[g] as in "good" and "bug”
12. PLACE OF ARTICULATION
9.GLOTTAL :
The opening between the vocal folds
is narrow enough to create some
turbulence in the airstream flowing
past the vocal folds.
[h] as in "hi" and “horse"
13. Plosives or Stop
▷ the air quickly builds up pressure
behind the articulators and then
releases in a burst.
[p] [b] [t]
[d] [k] [g]
→ how the airflow is constricted
MANNER OF ARTICULATION
14. Fricative
▷The air has to be forced through
a narrowchannel.
[f] [v] [θ]
[ð] [s] [z]
[ ʃ ] [ʒ] [h]
MANNER OF ARTICULATION
15. Affricates
▷ a combination of a stop
and a fricative that make one
new sound. The sounds begin with
a stop and end in a fricative.
[tʃ] [dʒ]
MANNER OF ARTICULATION
16. ▷ the air pass through
your nose.
[m] [n] [ŋ]
MANNER OF ARTICULATION
Nasal
17. ▷ Two articulators come
close together but not
quite close enough to
create air turbulence.
[w] [ j ] [r]
MANNER OF ARTICULATION
Approximants
▷ The tongue blocks the
middle of your mouth so
that air has to pass
around the sides.
[ l ]
Lateral Approx.
