See Sakapultek language 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 Sakapultek language and Alveolar consonant

Approximant

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

See Sakapultek language and Approximant

Back vowel

A back vowel is any in a class of vowel sound used in spoken languages.
