| | Consonant - definition of Consonant in Encyclopedia |
 | | For example, in English, the sound [m] in "mud" is a consonant, but in "prism", it occupies an entire syllable, as a vowel would. | | | The following tables list all the consonants listed by the IPA. | | | Since the number of consonants in the world's languages is much greater than the number of consonant letters in most alphabets, linguists have devised systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique symbol to each possible consonant. |

| | Describing consonants |
| | In a fricative consonant, the articulators involved in the constriction approach get close enough to each other to create a turbluent airstream. | | | Pay attention to what you are doing with your tongue when you say the first consonant of [lif] leaf. | | | Which consonant you're pronouncing depends on where in the vocal tract the constriction is and how narrow it is. It also depends on a few other things, such as whether the vocal folds are vibrating and whether air is flowing through the nose. |

| | Note that the IPA diacritics are simplified; some articulations would require two diacritics to be fully specified, but only one is used in order to keep the results legible without the need for OpenType IPA fonts. | | | Among the fricatives and affricates, a subtype called palato-alveolar consonants (see below) are shown with examples in the table. | | | This page contains phonetic information in IPA, which may not display correctly in some browsers. |

| | Front vowel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The defining characteristic of a front vowel is that the tongue is positioned as far forward as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant. | | | In some languages, the open front vowels do not pattern or group with the other front vowels in their phonologies. | | | In the phonology of many Indo-European languages, front vowels have a special effect on certain preceding palatal consonants, bringing them forward to alveolar or postalveolar consonant sounds. |

| | Curiosities of the Polish spelling |
| | The 5 postalveolar sounds are spelt in three ways, depending on their position: | | | In the prevailing part of words with such a sequence (a vowel + i + a consonant or the end of the word), the letter i preserves the reading of the vowel [i], or as a matter of fact the sequence “the juncture” (see above) + i, e.g. | | | Hence the presence of the ~ii ending in inflexional forms of the word is an indication concerning its pronunciation (and vice versa) since the spelling permits such an ending only in words with the consonant [j] pronounced (in the case of żmii also written in other forms: żmija). |
