Subtopics
- Consonant [r]: Unit of language, defined in phonetics as a speech sound that involves full or partial 'closure' of the mouth, and in phonology as a segment that cannot occupy the nucleus or 'peak' of a syllable. [e]
- Fundamental frequency [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Formant [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Glottal stop [r]: Type of consonantal sound or part of sound found in many languages, produced by a complete closure of the vocal cords; for example, the [t] sound in English may be partially or completely replaced by a glottal stop, which briefly halts the airflow from the lungs, or a glottal closure may combine with other articulatory movements to form ejective or implosive sounds.

- Otolaryngology [r]: Branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the ears, nose, throat, and adjacent structures of the head and neck. [e]
- Larynx [r]: The primary organ for sound production in mammals; also protects the trachea. [e]
- Syrinx [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Voicing (linguistics) [r]: Either the physical production of vibration by the vocal folds as part of articulation, or the potential phonological distinction this allows, i.e. the distinct difference between units such as [b] and [p] in many languages. [e]
- Vowel [r]: Speech sound with relatively unhindered airflow; different vowels are articulated mainly through tongue movements at the palatal and velar regions of the mouth, and are usually voiced (i.e. involve vocal fold movement). [e]
