AI overview

A consonant is a speech sound made by narrowing or closing off your vocal tract—the airway from your lungs to your lips—with parts of your mouth like your lips, tongue, or teeth. Consonants matter because they're fundamental building blocks of spoken language, forming the edges and structure of the words we speak, and they're produced in various ways including with the lips, tongue, and by forcing air through narrow channels.
