The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shut off, the primary obstacle to the
stream is provided by the closure of the lips. Lung air is compressed behind this closure,
during which stage the vocal cords are held wide apart for /p/, but may vibrate for all or
part of the compression stage for /b/ according to its situation in the utterance. The air
escapes with force when the lip closure is released.

The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shut off, the primary obstacle to the
aim stream is formed by a closure made between the back of the tongue and the soft
palate. Lung air is compressed behind the closure during which stage the vocal cords are
wide apart for /k/ but vibrate for /g/
Palato Alveolar Affricates The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shut off,
the primary obstacle to the aim stream is formed by a closure made between the tip,
blade, and rims of the tongue and the upper alveolar ridge and side teeth. At the same
time, the front of the tongue is raised towards the hard palate in readiness for the fricative
release. The closure is released slowly, the air escaping in a diffuse manner over the
whole of the central surface of the tongue with friction occurring between the blade /
front region of the tongue and the alveolar/ front palatal section of the roof of the mouth.
During both stop and fricative stages, the vocal cords are wide apart for /t/ but vibrate for
/d/
