Best Answer

Consonants are classified based on their manner of articulation, place of articulation, and voicing. Manner of articulation refers to how the airflow is obstructed, such as stops, fricatives, or nasals. Place of articulation refers to where the obstruction occurs, such as bilabial, alveolar, or velar. Voicing refers to whether the vocal cords are vibrating during the production of the sound.
