### Manner of Articulation ### Manner of Articulation


The manner of articulation is described in terms of several distinct feature
types. The possible manners of articulation are:

| Manner of Articulation | Feature | Symbol |
|------------------------|-----------|--------|
| nasal | `nas` | |
| plosive (stop) | `stp` | |
| affricate | `afr` | |
| fricative | `frc` | |
| tap/flap | `flp` | |
| trill | `trl` | |
| approximant | `apr` | |
| click | `clk` | |
| ejective | `ejc` | |
| implosive | `imp` | ◌ʼ |
| vowel | `vwl` | |

The features for these manners of articulation are provided for convenience,
and to make it easier to describe the IPA consonants. Internally, the
distinct feature types are used.
