What are Consonant Sounds?
Consonant sounds occur when airflow is obstructed by the tongue, lips, teeth, or throat. In English, consonants may be:

Voiced (e.g., /b/, /d/, /g/ → vocal cords vibrate)

Voiceless (e.g., /p/, /t/, /k/ → no vibration)

Fricatives (e.g., /f/, /v/, /θ/, /ð/)

Stops/Plosives (e.g., /p/, /t/, /k/)

Affricates (e.g., /tʃ/ in "chop" and /dʒ/ in "jump")
