It is a non-nasal speech sound from a speaker that clearly produced by raising the velum to close the nasal passage so that the air can escape only through the mouth.

  2. An oral sound is one in which the air passes through the oral cavity with the velum raised and closed against the back of the throat. These contrast with nasal sounds, produced with the velum lowered, allowing air through the nasal cavity.

  3. An oral sound is a consonant sound in speech that is made by allowing air to escape from the mouth, as opposed to the nose. To create an intended oral consonant sound, the entire mouth plays a role in modifying the air's passageway.

  9. An oral sound is one in which the air passes through the oral cavity with the velum raised and closed against the back of the throat. These contrast with nasal sounds, produced with the velum lowered, allowing air through the nasal cavity. This can also be looked at as sounds classified as oral are produced through the mouth and not the nose. If any air passes through the nose to produce the sound, the sound is nasal.
