Airstream mechanism
In phonetics, the airstream mechanism is the method by which airflow is created in the vocal tract.

Alveolar consonant
Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.

Apical consonant
An apical consonant is a phone (speech sound) produced by obstructing the air passage with the tip of the tongue.

Approximant consonant
Approximants are speech sounds that involve the articulators approaching each other but not narrowly enough nor with enough articulatory precision to create turbulent airflow.
