Phonology
Consonants
Languages tend to have consonants, and English does too. I'm making my consonant chart based on those from the English phonology Wikipedia page and the English page on Omniglot. These sounds obviously vary by dialect, but this is my page, so I'm writing the ones that make sense to me.
