Overview
Classes are defined by distinctive features having reference to
articulatory and acoustic phonetic properties,[2] including manners of
articulation, places of articulation, voicing, and continuance. For
example, the set containing the sounds /p/, /t/, and /k/ is a natural
class of voiceless stops in American Standard English. This class is
one of several other classes, including the voiced stops (/b/, /d/, and
/g/), voiceless fricatives (/f/, /θ/, /s/, /ʃ/, and /h/), sonorants, and
vowels.
