glottal consonant

Some additional details on glottal consonants are found in Carter.

However, in Semitic languages they do appear to be true glottal consonants.

However, glottal consonants behave as typical consonants in many languages.

These primarily include glottal consonants.

Sounds whose place of articulation is deep inside the mouth or throat are not detectable, such as glottal consonants and most gestures of the tongue.

Note that ä in the patterns becomes a after pharyngeal or glottal consonants (as elsewhere in Tigrinya).

Glottal consonants, also called laryngeal consonants, are consonants articulated with the glottis.

Glottal consonants in the International Phonetic Alphabet:

There are also bilabial, velar and often palatal consonants, but a complete absence of uvular or glottal consonants.

In the IPA, the glottal consonants are posited as having a specific "glottal" place of articulation.

However, the term pharyngeal is still commonly used in the broader sense, and authors such as Miller (2005) prefer guttural, which may include glottal consonants as well.

A back consonant includes all consonants whose place of articulation is in the soft palate (velum) or farther back, including velar, uvular, pharyngeal, epiglottal, and glottal consonants.

The term continues to be used by some phonologists to denote a category of sounds articulated in the throat, including pharyngeal, epiglottal, and glottal consonants (see radical consonant), and murmured, pharyngealized, and glottalized vowels (see strident vowel).

However, since the pharyngeal and glottal consonants of Tigrinya (and other Ethiopian Semitic languages) cannot be followed by this vowel, the symbols in the first column in the rows for those consonants are pronounced with the vowel a, exactly as in the fourth row.

Since the friars who alphabetized the Otomi populations were Spanish speakers, it was difficult for them to perceive contrasts that were present in Otomi but absent in Spanish, such as nasalisation, tone, the large vowel inventory as well as aspirated and glottal consonants.

Sheva and hataf-patah were allophones of the same phoneme used in different situations: hataf-patah on glottal consonants including aleph (such as the first letter in Adonai), and simple sheva on other consonants (such as the Y in YHWH).
