Difference between Approximant and Fricative

Approximant vs. Fricative

Approximants are speech sounds that involve the articulators approaching each other but not narrowly enough nor with enough articulatory precision to create turbulent airflow. A fricative is a consonant produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.
