 Consonant Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LaunchBase.com
Since the number of consonants in the world's languages is much greater than the number of consonant letters in any one alphabet, linguists have devised systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique symbol to each possible consonant.
A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a closure or stricture of the vocal tract sufficient to cause audible turbulence.
The word consonant comes from Latin and means "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but only occur with a nearby vowel, which is the case in Latin.

 <b>Sibilantb> consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term <b>sibilantb> is often taken to be synonymous with the term strident, though this is incorrect - there is variation in usage.

 On Language and Connectionism:...
The term <b>sibilantb> refers to the conspicuously noisy fricatives and affricates [s,z,S,Z,c,j].]; whatever its other virtues, spelling is not an appropriate medium for phonological computation.
It handles both regular (walk/walked and irregular (feel/felt) verbs, productively yielding past forms for novel verbs not in its training set, and it distinguishes the variants of the past tense morpheme (t versus d versus @o[i-d]) conditioned by the final consonant of the verb (walked versus jogged versus sweated).
If we are to achieve uniformity in the treatment of consonant- cluster voicing, we must not spread it out over 10 or so distinct morphological form generators (i.e., 10 different networks), and then repeat it once again in the phonetic component that applies to unanalyzable words.
