In phonetics, the study of speech sounds, sounds are classified into different categories based on their place of
articulation and manner of articulation.
Place of articulation refers to the point of contact in the mouth where the sound is produced, while manner of
articulation refers to how the sound is produced.
Here are the different sounds in English according to place of articulation and manner of articulation:
1. Bilabial sounds: These sounds are produced by bringing both lips together. Examples include /p/ in "pat",
/b/ in "bat", and /m/ in "mat".
2. Labiodental sounds: These sounds are produced by bringing the bottom lip up to touch the upper teeth.
Examples include /f/ in "fine" and /v/ in "vine".
3. Dental sounds: These sounds are produced by placing the tongue against or between the teeth. The English
language does not have many dental sounds, but /θ/ as in "think" and /ð/ as in "this" are examples.
4. Alveolar sounds: These sounds are produced by placing the tongue on the alveolar ridge, which is the bumpy
ridge behind the upper teeth. Examples include /t/ in "top", /d/ in "do", and /s/ in "sit".
5. Palatal sounds: These sounds are produced by placing the tongue on the hard palate, which is the bony part
of the roof of the mouth. Examples include /ʃ/ in "shoe" and /ʒ/ in "vision".
6. Velar sounds: These sounds are produced by placing the back of the tongue against the soft palate or velum.
Examples include /k/ in "keep", /g/ in "go", and /ŋ/ in "sing".
7. Glottal sounds: These sounds are produced in the glottis, which is the space between the vocal cords in the
throat. Examples include /h/ in "hat"
In English, there are several types of sounds according to articulation point and articulation manner:
Stops: Also known as plosives or oral stops, these sounds are produced by a complete obstruction of the
airflow in the mouth. The air is then released suddenly to produce a sound.
Examples of stops include /p/ in "pot," /t/ in "top," and /k/ in "keep."
Fricatives: These sounds are produced by a partial obstruction of the airflow in the mouth, creating friction.
The air continues to flow but with resistance, creating the sound. Examples of fricatives include /f/ in "fine," /s/
in "sip," and /v/ in "van."
Affricates: Affricates are a combination of stops and fricatives. They begin as a complete obstruction of the
airflow in the mouth and then change to a soft friction.
Examples of affricates include /tʃ/ in "church" and /dʒ/ in "judge."
Nasals: Nasal consonants are produced when the airflow is directed through the nose instead of the mouth.
Examples of nasals include /m/ in "man," /n/ in "no," and /ŋ/ in "sing."
Liquids: Liquid consonants are sounds that allow the airflow to pass through the mouth without friction.
Examples of liquids include /l/ in "love" and /r/ in "red."
Approximants: Approximant consonants are similar to liquids, but with less obstruction of the airflow.
Examples of approximants include /w/ in "way" and /j/ in "yes."
Vowels: Vowels are sounds produced without any obstruction of the airflow in the mouth. In English, there are
12 vowels:
/i/, /ɪ/, /e/, /ɛ/, /æ/, /ʌ/, /u/, /ʊ/, /o/, /ɔ/, /ə/, /aɪ/, /aʊ/, /ɔɪ/, /eɪ/.

I couldn't help but notice the fringe hanging from the curtains as I entered the room. It was a beautiful shade of
blue that complemented the garish wallpaper quite well. The garishness was a result of someone's poor decision
to mix too many colors together. I found it difficult to maintain my composure in such an environment. However,
I managed to maintain my leisurely demeanor and continued to work. My job required precision and attention to
detail, even in the face of such distractions.
As I turned on the television to unwind after a long day, I stumbled upon a show that piqued my interest. It was
a treasure hunt in which contestants had to solve riddles and find hidden clues. The host had a very convincing
way of speaking that drew me in. He had a great sense of persuasion, and I found myself wanting to join the hunt.
I began to imagine the pleasure I would feel if I won the grand prize. However, I soon realized that it was just a
mirage, and I needed to focus on my own goals.
The pressure was mounting as the deadline approached. I had a question in mind that I needed to answer before I
could complete the task. I turned to my colleagues for some fresh perspective, hoping they could offer some
suggestions. One of them mentioned a new approach that we hadn't considered before. It involved a risky
maneuver that could crash the whole project if not executed properly. I felt a rush of uncertainty, but I knew that
we had to take a chance. It was a make or break situation, and we couldn't afford to miss our mission.

As I walked to church on a beautiful Sunday morning, I couldn't help but notice the lush nature surrounding me.
The picture in my mind was like a peaceful oasis in the midst of chaos. Suddenly, I heard a loud crash behind me
and turned to see a young boy trying to catch his ball. He looked bashful and embarrassed as I helped him retrieve
it from the bushes.
As a teacher, I know the importance of helping children build a strong foundation of knowledge. It's my mission
to ensure that my students have the tools they need to succeed in life. Sometimes, it's like trying to spoon sugar
into a cup that's already full. But I'm sure that with patience and persistence, we can make a real difference.
I couldn't wait to get home and wash off the dirt from my morning walk. The fresh feeling of being clean and
renewed always helps me focus on the tasks ahead. In our nation, we're faced with many challenges and pressures
that can make us feel like we're gushing under the weight. But we need to be like a cushion, soft and resilient to
bounce back.
Sometimes, we need to apply some lotion to soothe our tired and overworked minds. It's important to take care
of ourselves so that we can handle the pressure of tough decisions. It's not always easy to find the right solution,
but with careful consideration and a little bit of polish, we can make things shine.
I remember the times when I used to watch my favorite show on television. It was like a little escape from reality,
a chance to relax and unwind. I loved to see the changes in the characters' lives and how they would overcome
their obstacles. It was like going to the beach without ever leaving my couch.
As a public speaker, I've learned the value of good speech. It's like having the riches of the world at your fingertips.
You can change lives, inspire others, and make a real difference. With each word, you build a bridge to a better
future. But you must choose your words carefully, like a butcher choosing the right cut of meat.
In the kitchen, I like to experiment with different flavors and textures. It's like a journey to discover new lands
and cultures. I enjoy the challenge of creating something new and exciting, like a vulture searching for its next
meal. And when the meal is ready, it's like stretching out on a comfortable stretcher after a long day.
The sounds of the city outside my window remind me of the march of time. Each day, we have the opportunity
to make a difference, to be a force for change. But we must never forget to take care of ourselves and those around
us, like a gentle touch on a loved one's cheek. We must always remember the importance of community, like the
branches of a tree reaching out to support each other. And when we need a break, we can always turn to the
soothing sound of a gentle twitch in the curtains.
