Ipa Phonetic Quiz

The bilabial nasal refers to the sound 'm' produced by closing both lips and allowing air to escape through the nose.

A labiodental nasal is a nasal consonant sound produced by blocking the airflow through the oral cavity with the upper teeth against the lower lip, directing the sound through the nasal passage.

An alveolar nasal refers to the sound produced by placing the tongue against the alveolar ridge while allowing air to pass through the nasal cavity, resulting in the phoneme /n/. The other options refer to different nasal sounds produced with tongue placement at different parts of the mouth.

Retroflex nasal sounds are produced by articulating the sound with the tongue in a specific position, not by flaring nostrils, constricting airflow, or vocal cord vibration.

A palatal nasal is a consonant sound that involves the back of the tongue against the hard palate, not related to vocal fold vibration, vowel sounds, or plosive consonants.

A velar nasal is produced by lowering the back of the tongue towards the velum, not by rubbing against the teeth, stopping airflow, or creating a partial closure of the oral cavity.

A uvular nasal is represented by the IPA symbol 'N', which is a sound commonly found in languages like French and Spanish. It is produced by lowering the back of the tongue and raising the back of the tongue towards the uvula.

The voiceless bilabial plosive is represented by the sound 'p'. It is a speech sound produced by blocking airflow with both lips and then releasing it.

The correct answer 'b' represents the voiced bilabial plosive sound, as in the word 'bad'. The other options do not represent the same sound.

The voiceless alveolar plosive 't' is a type of consonant sound made by blocking airflow at the alveolar ridge, then releasing it suddenly.

A voiced alveolar plosive is a type of consonant sound produced by obstructing airflow using the tongue against the alveolar ridge, with vocal cord vibration.

A voiceless retroflex plosive is a type of consonant sound produced with a downward movement of the back of the tongue to the roof of the mouth.

A voiced retroflex plosive is a specific sound in phonetics, characterized by the tongue positioning and manner of articulation as described in the answer.

The voiceless palatal plosive is the sound represented by the letter 'c' in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It is a speech sound that is produced by a quick release of air pressure between the middle or back part of the tongue against the hard palate.

A voiced palatal plosive is a sound articulated with the mid body of the tongue raised against the hard palate, resulting in the closure or near closure of the oral cavity. It is voiced because the vocal cords are in vibration during its production.

A voiceless velar plosive is a sound produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract with the back of the tongue at the soft palate, resulting in the sound 'k'.

The correct answer 'g' is the voiced velar plosive, while 't', 'k', and 'd' are not voiced velar plosives.

The voiceless uvular plosive is pronounced as 'q' and is found in languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

The correct answer is G, which represents the voiced uvular plosive sound. P, T, and K do not correspond to the voiced uvular plosive sound.

An epiglottal plosive is a specific type of consonant sound created by blocking airflow using the epiglottis, which is a cartilage in the throat. This sound is distinct from other types of sounds produced in different areas of the vocal tract.

A glottal plosive is a specific linguistic term related to speech sounds, not to drinks, musical instruments, or dance moves.

The correct answer refers to the specific linguistic term for the described sound, while the incorrect answers are different phonetic sounds that do not match the description provided.

The correct answer refers to the sound made by bringing both lips together and letting air flow through, creating a friction-like sound. The incorrect options represent different sounds produced by different mouth positions and airflow.

The voiceless labiodental fricative is represented by the sound 'f'.

The voiced labiodental fricative is represented by the sound 'v' in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It is produced by making a continuous friction-like sound with the bottom lip against the upper teeth.

The IPA symbol θ represents the voiceless dental fricative, produced by placing the tip of the tongue against the upper front teeth and forcing air through the narrow gap to create a friction-like sound.

The voiced dental fricative is represented by the symbol ð and is typically produced with a vibration of the vocal cords. It is different from the voiceless dental fricative represented by θ, the voiceless postalveolar fricative represented by ʃ, and the voiced alveolar fricative represented by z.

The voiceless alveolar fricative is represented by the 's' sound. It is a fricative consonant sound produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing the front of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.
