Affricates
A consonant sound that begins like a stop
but then releases like a fricative, thus
making it a sort of combination sound. Think
of sounds like “ch” and “j.” Affricates
are common, especially in English.
Nasals
A consonant sound where the airflow passes exclusively through the nose instead
of the mouth. Think of sounds like “m,” “n,” or “ng.” Almost all languages have
nasals.
