SonorantIn phonetics and phonology, a sonorant is a member of a class of speech sounds that are continuants produced without turbulent airflow in the vocal tract. Vowels are sonorants, but so are approximants and nasal consonants. All sounds higher on the sonority hierarchy than fricatives are sonorants.See also
