In
phonetics and
phonology, a sonorant is a
speech sound that is produced without turbulent airflow in the
vocal tract. Essentially this means that a sound is sonorant if it can be produced continuously at the same pitch. For example,
vowels are sonorants, as are consonants like and . Other consonants, like or , cannot be produced continuously and so are non-sonorant. In addition to vowels, phonetic categorizations of sounds that are considered sonorant include
approximants,
nasal consonants,
taps, and
trills. In the
sonority hierarchy, all sounds higher than
fricatives are sonorants.
