Quiz: Consonant Places of Articulation & Manner of Articulation

Consonants articulated with the tongue against the hard palate.

Consonants produced with the back of the tongue against the velum.

Sounds produced using the glottis, involving vocal cords.

The location where a consonant sound is produced in the vocal tract.

Various consonants contribute to the richness of languages and speech.

A speech sound produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.

Consonants produced with both lips coming together.

Consonants formed by the lower lip touching the upper teeth.

Consonants articulated with the tongue between the teeth.

Consonants created when the tongue contacts the alveolar ridge behind the upper front teeth.

Consonants articulated with the tongue near the back of the alveolar ridge.

The manipulation of airflow in speech using various articulatory organs.

The method used to produce speech sounds through airflow modification.

A speech sound created by building air pressure and releasing it suddenly, like bursting a balloon.

A sound formed by partially obstructing airflow, creating a continuous noise, like a flowing river with a rock.

A consonant that begins as a stop and releases as a fricative, combining two manners of articulation.

A treatment aimed at improving pronunciation and clarity in speech, often needed for sound production issues.

The collection of all phonetic sounds used in English, some of which may not be present in other languages.

The force exerted by air that is used to create certain speech sounds, especially in stops.

The natural process of learning a language, including how sounds are learned unconsciously in early life.

The roof of the mouth; includes hard and soft parts.

The placement of the tongue while producing sounds.

The shape and position of lips when creating sounds.

An organism that primarily eats plants.

A condition where the lower jaw protrudes further than the upper jaw.

The average length of life for gorillas, typically 35-40 years in the wild.

Consonants produced with vocal fold vibration, like [d].

Consonants made without vocal fold vibration, like [t].

Sounds with the same articulation but differ in voicing, like [θ] and [ð].

Sounds created by completely stopping airflow before releasing it, like [t].

A consonant produced by forcing air through a narrow space, creating turbulence.

A consonant where articulators are close but not enough to cause turbulence.

A consonant allowing airflow around the sides of the tongue.

A consonant where the sides of the tongue lower, allowing smooth airflow.

Consonants produced when both lips come together.

Sounds made with the lower lip against the upper teeth.

Sounds produced with the tongue against the upper teeth.

Consonants articulated just behind the alveolar ridge.

Sounds produced with the tongue tip curled backward.

A sound produced by a narrow glottis causing turbulence.

Sounds produced by obstructing airflow through the vocal tract.
