Consonants nasal stops

Consonants are described in terms of voicing, manner and place of articulation. The main values manner can take are stop, fiicative, nasal, affricate and approximant. 

The source characteristics of consonants differ depending on the class of sound being produced. All unvoiced sounds use only the noise source nasals and approximants use only the periodic source while voiced obstruents (i.e. voice fricatives, affricates and stops) use both sources. Approximants are generated in much the same way as vowels. Some consonants (such as [h]) can be synthesised in the same way as vowels that is by sending a sound source through the oral cavity resonators. Most other consonants are however more complicated than /h/ because their source is not at one end of the vocal tract.
