1. SonorantIn phonetics and phonology, a sonorant is a speech sound that is produced with continuous, non-turbulent airflow in the vocal tract; these are the manners of articulation that are most often voiced in the world's languages. Fricatives and stops do not allow unimpeded or non-turbulent airflow, are most often voiceless, and are not sonorants: they are termed obstruents. Vowels are sonorants, as are consonants like /m/ and /l/: approximants, nasals, taps, and trills.
