A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a
consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the
vocal tract. The terms plosive and stop are usually used interchangeably, but they are not perfect synonyms. Plosives are stops with a
pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism. The term is also used to describe
oral (non-nasal) stops. Many use the term nasal
continuant rather than nasal stop to refer to sounds like [n] and [m]. One should be aware that this article treats these "nasal continuants" as nasal stops.
