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. +| Feature | Symbol | Name | +|-----------|--------|----------------| +| `nas` | | nasal | +| `stp` | | plosive (stop) | +| `afr` | | affricate | +| `frc` | | fricative | +| `flp` | | tap/flap | +| `trl` | | trill | +| `apr` | | approximant | +| `clk` | | click | +| `ejc` | | ejective | +| `imp` | ◌ʼ | implosive | +| `vwl` | | vowel | The `vwl` phonemes are described using vowel height and backness features, while consonants (the other manners of articulation) are described using
