Manners of articulation

Stops	consonants in which the airflow is completely stopped or blocked at the place of articulation by the tongue, lips, or vocal folds.
Fricatives	consonants in which air is forced through a narrow opening, causing friction.
Affricates	sequences of a stop immediately followed by a fricative, but behaving as a single sound: for example, t̓ᶿ is sort of like t̓ + θ, c is sort of like t + s, č is sort of like t + š.
Resonant	consonants involving less obstruction than a fricative: nasals (m, n), liquid (l), glides (y, w).

Secondary articulations, co-articulated with consonants

Glottalized

produced with glottal articulation (a “catch in the throat”) as well as oral articulation, written with an apostrophe < ̓> on top of the sound, for example m̓ = m with a glottal catch. Glottalized resonants typically have the catch in the after the resonant, but maybe have in before when they follow a stressed, non-long vowel (see Glottalized resonants for details [link to glottalized resonants timing lesson page]). Glottalized stops use the catch in the throat a little bit differently, and have it during the stop to help increase the air pressure in the mouth and give the stop a “poppy” quality.

Labialized

produced with rounded lips, written with a superscript w <ʷ> after the consonant’s letter, for example qʷ = q with rounded lips. Note that while the ʷ is written after the letter, you should round your lips throughout the sound.
