ContinuantIn phonetics, a continuant is a speech sound produced without a complete closure in the oral cavity, namely fricatives, approximants, vowels, and trills. While vowels are included in continuants, the term is often reserved for consonant sounds. Approximants were traditionally called "frictionless continuants." Continuants contrast with occlusives, such as plosives, affricates and nasals. Compare sonorants (resonants), a class of speech sounds which includes vowels, approximants and nasals (but not fricatives), and contrasts with obstruents.
Welsh phonologyThe phonology of Welsh is characterised by a number of sounds that do not occur in English and are rare in European languages, such as the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative [ɬ] and several voiceless sonorants (nasals and liquids), some of which result from consonant mutation. Stress usually falls on the penultimate syllable in polysyllabic words, while the word-final unstressed syllable receives a higher pitch than the stressed syllable. Welsh has the following consonant phonemes: Symbols in parentheses are either allophones, or found only in loanwords.
Consonne bilabialeIn phonetics, a bilabial consonant is a labial consonant articulated with both lips. Bilabial consonants are very common across languages. Only around 0.7% of the world's languages lack bilabial consonants altogether, including Tlingit, Chipewyan, Oneida, and Wichita. The bilabial consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are: Owere Igbo has a six-way contrast among bilabial stops: [p ph ɓ̥ b b̤ ɓ]. The extensions to the IPA also define a ([ʬ]) for smacking the lips together.

X-SAMPAX-SAMPA (en anglais eXtended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet) est une variante de SAMPA développée en 1995 par John C. Wells, professeur de phonétique à l'Université de Londres. Ce jeu de caractères phonétiques utilisable sur ordinateur utilisant les caractères ASCII 7-bits imprimables fut conçu pour unifier les différents alphabets SAMPA et les étendre pour couvrir tout l'alphabet phonétique international (API). Les symboles de l'API qui correspondent à des minuscules latines ont la même valeur en X-SAMPA.
