This article is about the sound. For the letter, see glottal stop (letter). The glottal stop or voiceless glottal plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in many Speech communication languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is . The glottal stop is the sound made when the vocal cords are pressed together to stop the flow of air and then released; for example, the break separating the syllables of the interjection uh-oh.

Features Features of the glottal stop:

Its manner of articulation is stop consonant or stop, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
Its place of articulation is glottal consonant which means it is articulated by the vocal folds.
Its phonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
Because it is pronounced in the throat; without a component in the mouth, the central consonant/lateral consonant dichotomy does not apply.
The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
