Prompt Detail:
A consonant is a speech sound that is produced by partially or completely blocking the airflow through the mouth using the lips, tongue, teeth, or other parts of the mouth. Consonants are one of the two main categories of speech sounds, the other being vowels.
Unlike vowels, consonants typically cannot be pronounced on their own and need to be combined with a vowel to form a syllable. Consonants can be classified based on their manner of articulation (how the airflow is obstructed), place of articulation (where in the mouth the obstruction occurs), and voicing (whether the vocal cords vibrate or not).
Some examples of English consonants include /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, /s/, /z/, /f/, /v/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /h/, /m/, /n/, /l/, /r/, and /j/.
