Although traditionally placed in the fricative row of the IPA chart, [ʢ] is usually an approximant. The IPA symbol itself is ambiguous, but no language has a distinct fricative and approximant at this place of articulation. Sometimes the lowering diacritic is used to specify that the manner is approximant: [ʢ̞]. Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants. ...

In speech there are different ways of producing a consonant. ... Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants. ... Fricative consonants are produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together. ... Turbulent flow around an obstacle; the flow further away is laminar Laminar and turbulent water flow over the hull of a submarine Turbulence in the tip vortex from an airplane wing In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection... In speech, consonants may have different places of articulation, generally with full or partial stoppage of the airstream. ... An epiglottal consonant is a consonant that is articulated with the epiglottis against the back of the pharynx. ... The epiglottis is a structure at the back of the throat formed of cartilage covered with mucous membrane. ... The pharynx is the part of the digestive system of many animals immediately behind the mouth and in front of the esophagus. ...

An oral consonant is a consonant sound in speech that is made by allowing air to escape from the mouth. ... A central or medial consonant is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue. ... Laterals are L-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides of the tongue. ...

Voiced epiglottal fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (282 words)
The voiced epiglottal approximant/fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is approximant, or occasionally fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a channel at the place of articulation that is not usually narrow enough to cause turbulence.
Its phonation type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.
Fricative consonant (465 words)
Fricatives (or spirants) are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.
A particular subset of fricatives are the sibilants (sometimes referred to as stridents).
The glottal "fricatives" are actually unaccompanied phonation states of the glottis, without any accompanying manner, fricative or otherwise.
