Murmured vowels after plain consonants contrast with plain vowels after aspirated consonants, and likewise glottalized vowels with ejective consonants, so these are phonations of the vowels and not assimilation with consonant phonation.

This is usually a misnomer for ejective consonants, which are found across much of the world, or is a reference to paralinguistic use of clicks such as English " tsk ! tsk !"

The voiced aspirated and ejective consonants, both pulmonic and clicks, contain a voiceless interval, which Miller ( 2003 ) attributes to a larger glottal opening than is found in Hindustani breathy-voiced consonants.
24.
In phonetics, "'ejective consonants "'are usually voiceless consonants that are pronounced with a implosives, which has led to phonologists positing a phonological class of glottalic consonants, which includes ejectives.

The autochthonous languages of the Caucasus share some areal features, such as the presence of ejective consonants and a highly agglutinative structure, and, with the sole exception of Ossetian ( which has ejective sounds but no ergativity ).

Multigraphs using the apostrophe for ejective consonants, and click letters ? ? ? ? ? have been omitted, but Irish is of more interest to many English speakers . talk ) 00 : 24, 15 August 2008 ( UTC)

The initial clusters and are sometimes realized as two released stops, but sometimes with a single release, resembling ejective consonants in other languages . ( is again notably missing, except intervocalically, despite the fact that is the most common ejective cross-linguistically .)

Similarly, in an ejective consonant with a glottalic airstream mechanism, the lips or the tongue ( i . e ., the buccal or lingual valve ) are initially closed and the closed glottis ( the laryngeal piston ) is raised decreasing the oral cavity volume behind the valve closure and increasing the pressure compared to the volume and pressure at a resting state.
