Plosives are distinguished by place of articulation and phonation. The three phonations are aspirated (with a [http://clas.mq.edu.au/speech/phonetics/phonetics/airstream_laryngeal/vot.html positive VOT]), emphatic (not well defined, but perhaps having a neutral VOT, glottalisation, or some other feature), and voiced (with a negative VOT).
The places of articulation are defined as labial (using the lips), dental (near the teeth), palatal (post-alveolar?) and dorsal (allophonically palatal, velar and uvular, probably). ''Lateralised'' (dental plosive and lateral combinations included) is given as a place of articulation, but this is more a manner of articulation. Finally, there is the glottal place of articulation, which is provided for a symmetry's sake.
 
Plosives are distinguished by place of articulation and phonation. The three phonations are fortis (with a [http://clas.mq.edu.au/speech/phonetics/phonetics/airstream_laryngeal/vot.html positive VOT] and/or preaspiration, i.e. ''voiceless''), tense (not well defined, but perhaps having a neutral VOT, glottalisation, or some other feature), and lenis (with a neutral to negative VOT, i.e. ''voiced'').
 
Nasals (and other normally voiced continuants) are described as being distinguished based on voicing, but this is a simplified approach. In actuality, voiceless nasals can be pre-stopped, may have a negative VOT, or be glottalised. Post-stopped nasals (e.g., mp) are accounted for by vowel nasalisation (see the [[User:Ceige/Sketch#Vowels|relevant section]])
