How to use "Consonant" in context?

The consonant sounds make up the bulk of speech sounds. Consonants are all the sounds that are made with the release of air from the lungs. These sounds can be divided into two categories: oral consonants and nasal consonants.

The oral consonants are made when air is drawn in through the nose and expelled through the mouth. The most common oral consonants are the m sound (as in may), the p sound (as in pen), and the b sound (as in bed).

The nasal consonants are made when air is drawn in through the nose and then expelled through the mouth.
