Pulmonic constants constitute the majority of consonants produced by speakers when air is expelled from the lungs when articulated. On the IPA chart, pulmonic consonants are well organized concerning the absence or presence of voicing and the place of articulation and manner (how the consonant is articulated). Across the English language are nine different places of articulation that include: glottal, bilabial, velar, labiodental, palatal, labial-velar, postalveolar, dental, and alveolar. Twenty-one of the twenty-four English consonants are included on the pulmonic consonants chart. Additionally, there are eight different manners of articulation including six in English labeled as affricate, approximant, plosive, nasal, fricative, and lateral. The remaining three are on the other symbols chart as /w, ʧ, ʤ/.
