Pulmonic sounds are sounds in which the air stream originates in the lungs.
The IPA does not use letter combinations to represent a single sound, such as sh and th in English, unless the sound can be regarded at a phonetic level as a sequence of two (such as aspirated stops, diphthongs, or prenasalized stops).
A pulmonic consonant is a consonant made by obstructing the glottis or oral cavity and either simultaneously or subsequently letting out air from the lungs.
All consonants in the English language are pulmonic, as are all consonants in Indo-European languages.
