Part 2-consonants! I made this to help study for a test- basically, we're given totally blank charts we have to fill out from scratch. Yikes!
For those who are curious, this is pretty close to the table I have to memorize. Lyrics below!
Bilabial, Labiodental, Interdental, Alveolar
Palatal, AND Velar, Glottal is the whole top row
Then there’s Stops, Fricatives, Affricates
and Nasals, Liquids, Glides
Now the stuff trapped in the middle is the rest you need to know!
.
First four Bilabials “p”, “b” and then
Down in the Nasals, “m” is their friend
“w” ’s a glide, and though you really wanna quit
All of this is on a test, so remember all of it
.
The dental twins come next, both Labial and dental
One has letters that are normal, but the other’s kind of mental
“f” and “v” are normal fricatives, their cousins to the right
are “ethe” and “theta” both, and what weird letters, what a sight!
.
Alveolar has a ton underneath
“t”, “d” and “s”, “z”, this I bequeath
Skip over the affricates to “n”, and “l”, and “r”
One nasal and two liquids are the manner that they are
.
Palatal is more a drawing than an alphabetic rule
First a long “s” and a number “3” that do look pretty cool
“t” plus long “s”, affricates, they fill my heart with glee
Then some culture of the dragon kind brings on a “d3”
.
“j” is in the glides, Velar has “k” and “g”
Down in the nasals a long “n” you’ll see
Glottal only has an “h”, a fricative at that
Now do your best, and study hard, and don’t be such a brat!
