INTERACTIVE
SAGITTAL SECTION

Use the radio buttons to change voicing, nasality, lip position, and tongue position. To move the tongue, you need to specify both manner and place of articulation. Not all of the possible combinations of tongue and lip positions are used in speech; for example, if the tongue is making a stop, positioning the lips for a fricative will have no effect on the resulting sound.
