Three properties to describe consonants: place of articulation, manner of articulation (how much of a constriction is there?, voicing. List the stops in english: [p, b, k, t, d, g] List alveolars: [t, d, s, z, l, r] [ d ] as in judge and [ t ] as in chat. Do not mix sounds with letters (ipa symbols are not letters) Voice labial stop: when oral/nasal is not specified, they mean oral always assume oral unless it says otherwise. Next week"s topic: refers to the letter. In english we use 24 consonants, but languages in general can vary in how many speech sounds they use: can have large or small inventories. The smallest rotokas 4300 speakers 6 consonants. The largest - !kung 4000 speakers 96 consonants. [w] is referred to as velar in the textbook, but is more specifically, a labiovelar".
