Occlusive: Common occlusives & Overview

In phonetics, an occlusive, sometimes known as a stop, is a consonant sound produced by occluding (i.e. blocking) airflow in the vocal tract, but not necessarily in the nasal tract. The duration of the block is the occlusion of the consonant; the end of the block is the release or release burst of the consonant. They contrast with continuants.
