1. A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a constriction
or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract. The word consonant comes from
Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being presented that it
don't sound on their own, but only occur with a nearby vowel; this conception of
consonants, however, does not reflect a modern linguistic understanding, which defines
them in terms of vocal tract constrictions.
.
Since the number of consonants in all the world's languages is much greater than
the number of consonant letters in most alphabets, linguists have devised systems such as
the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique symbol to each possible
consonant. In fact, the Latin alphabet, which is used to write English, has fewer
consonant letters than English has consonant sounds, so some letters represent more than
one consonant, and digraphs like "sh" and "th" are used to represent some sounds. Many
speakers aren't even aware that the "th" sound in "this" is a different sound from the "th"
sound in "thing."
