English phones - Search by Voice, Place and Manner


Use the filter buttons below.

For example, if you want a Voiced Alveolar Plosive, select each from the three drop down buttons to reveal the matching phone (in this case, a [ d ]).

You can also press the 'Play' button to hear the phone (sound).

Use this to practice your VMP - can you say the phone and then does it match the one revealed by the three filter buttons?
