    1. English Consonant Sounds

    2. What is a Consonant Sound? A consonant sound is that speech sound which is produced by stopping or blocking the air stream as it passes through the nose or mouth. Twenty-four speech sounds have such characteristics The position of the articulators will affect the consonant sound. A consonant sound can be voiced or voiceless.

    3. How Consonant Sounds are Produced? Consonant sounds are classified into six groups depending on the way of their production. These groups are: 1. The Plosives In producing plosives the articulators must contact with each other completely. The air is stopped and then released with a great force.

    4. 2. The Nasals: Sounds are produced when the air stream is blocked in the mouth and escaped through the nasal cavity instead of the mouth cavity.

    6. 4.The Affricates : Affricates are really a plosive and a fricative combined together. The air is initially blocked, and then released through a narrow passageway like a fricative.
