Affricate

An affricate is a consonant that begins as a stop and releases as a fricative, generally with the same place of articulation (most often coronal).

See Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II and Affricate

Alveolar consonant

Alveolar (UK also) 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 upper teeth.

See Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II and Alveolar consonant

In phonetics, alveolo-palatal (alveolopalatal, alveo-palatal or alveopalatal) consonants, sometimes synonymous with pre-palatal consonants, are intermediate in articulation between the coronal and dorsal consonants, or which have simultaneous alveolar and palatal articulation.

See Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II and Alveolo-palatal consonant

Aspirated consonant

In phonetics, aspiration is the strong burst of breath that accompanies either the release or, in the case of preaspiration, the closure of some obstruents.

See Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II and Aspirated consonant

Bilabial consonant

In phonetics, a bilabial consonant is a labial consonant articulated with both lips.
