 The Elision of /k/ in <nk# C> Context
A further 31 phrases had to be taken out of the experiment because in these phrases the initial consonant following a final /k/ was a plosive or /ð/ (which is usually pronounced as a lax dental plosive rather than as a fricative).
These were then examined and a spectrogram was produced for all environments.
It could well be the case that /k/ is hardly ever elided in this environment, but there might be instances where this elision does not result in an unacceptable pronunciation.

 Is the Syllabics orthography an Abugida?
Abugida is a term coined by Peter T. Daniels for a script whose basic signs denote consonants with an inherent vowel and where consistent modifications of the basic sign indicate other following vowels than the inherent one.
In Blackfoot, the virama would have to include the concepts superscript, direction, and stem-deletion!
In most languages, there are also consonant characters which do not belong to a series of syllabics.

 Polish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polish is often said to be one of the most difficult languages for non-native speakers to learn; of course, this depends on one's native language.
Polish consonant system is more complicated and its characteristic features are series of affricate and palatal consonants.
In script they are marked by a diacritic known as ogonek.

 How to make the sounds in Wolof - Consonants
Say "cannon." Now say "canyon." Lengthen the nasal sounds in the middle of these two words, so you can feel what you are doing.
When it occurs at the end of a word preceded by a vowel it is unreleased and often voiceless ([k]), or may be produced as an implosive.
It does not occur as a single consonant at the end of a word, but note that j in final position preceded by a vowel is usually voiceless (i.e [c]).

 P - Open Encyclopedia
Both initial and final P can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words.
A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in N to become M before P (such as "in" + "pulse" -> "impulse").
In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive ('p' in the IPA).

 Plosive consonant - definition of Plosive consonant in Encyclopedia
In certain languages, final stops may lack the release.
Other linguists consider the nasal consonants not to be stops because they are continuants and call them simply nasals, as opposed to stops.
Some linguists consider nasal consonants to be nasal stops, which are differentiated from the oral stop only by the lowered velum that allows the air to escape through the nose during the production of the nasal stop.

 Thai language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In polysyllabic words, an initial high class consonant with an implicit vowel renders the following syllable also high class.
Vowels associated with consonants are nonsequential: they can be located before, after, above or below their associated consonant, or in a combination of these positions.
Tone markers are placed above the initial consonant of a syllable or on the last consonant of an initial consonant cluster.

 Articles - Implosive consonant
In the International Phonetic Alphabet, implosives are indicated by writing a plosive consonant with a hook top.
Implosive consonants are plosives (rarely affricates) with a glottalic ingressive airstream mechanism.
This is the opposite pattern to the ejective consonants, where it is the velar articulation that is most common, and the bilabial that is rare.

Russian and other Slavic languages have words that begin with [dn], which can be seen in the name of the Dnieper River.
Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally only used in languages where these sounds are phonemic, that is, not analyzed into sequences of plosive plus nasal stop.

It is most often the case that a poorly produced consonant cripples the following vowel or, a vowel is compromised by the brain trying to move the oral structure into position for the next consonant during the vowel (we call both of these occurances "consonant-shadow").
Our ongoing problems with singer’s consonant production can be greatly aided by the use of visualization technology offered in the spectrogram.
The student, of course, uses speech parameters to judge the amount of plosive needed and does not realize that the amount of plosive produced must be far greater in singing than in speech.

 CONSONANT - Definition
All the consonants excepting the mutes may be indefinitely, prolonged in utterance without the help of a vowel, and even the mutes may be produced with an aspirate instead of a vocal explosion.
All of them are sounds uttered through a closer position of the organs than that of a vowel proper, although the most open of them, as the semivowels and nasals, are capable of being used as if vowels, and forming syllables with other closer consonants, as in the English feeble (-b'l), taken (-k'n).

 Voiceless retroflex plosive - SmartyBrain Encyclopedia and Dictionary
The voiceless retroflex plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.
The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.

For example, if there is a ‘pop’ on a plosive consonant in the middle of a word, find an alt version of the consonant that is clean.
Line it up with the problem version on a work track and trim the fix to the shortest region that will cover the problem (figure 4).
The best way to do this is to choose a section of the alt that is the same length as the glitch – in other words, very short indeed.

There are several other retroflex consonants not yet recognized by the IPA.
Note: In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the symbols for retroflex consonants are typically the same as for the alveolar consonants, but with the addition of a right-facing hook to the bottom of the symbol.

To warm up your mouth for good articulation, repeat each of these phrases several times exploding the plosive sounds in an exaggerated manner:
