Vocal cords [r]: Mucous membranes over the larynx that contribute to the production of sound in mammals. ^[e]

Phonology [r]: In linguistics, the study of the system used to represent language, including sounds in spoken language and hand movements in sign language. ^[e]
Psycholinguistics [r]: Study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language. ^[e]
Spoken language [r]: An example of language produced using some of the articulatory organs, e.g. the mouth, vocal folds or lungs, or intended for production by these organs; alternatively, the entire act of communicating verbally - what people mean or intend, the words they use, their accent, intonation and so on. ^[e]

Phonetics [r]: Study of speech sounds and their perception, production, combination, and description. ^[e]
Voicing (linguistics) [r]: Either the physical production of vibration by the vocal folds as part of articulation, or the potential phonological distinction this allows, i.e. the distinct difference between units such as [b] and [p] in many languages. ^[e]

Consonant [r]: Unit of language, defined in phonetics as a speech sound that involves full or partial 'closure' of the mouth, and in phonology as a segment that cannot occupy the nucleus or 'peak' of a syllable. ^[e]
- Obstruent [r]: Add brief definition or description
Sonorant [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Vowel [r]: Speech sound with relatively unhindered airflow; different vowels are articulated mainly through tongue movements at the palatal and velar regions of the mouth, and are usually voiced (i.e. involve vocal fold movement). ^[e]

Music [r]: The art of structuring time by combining sound and silence into rhythm, harmonies and melodies. ^[e]
Pitch (music) [r]: Perceived frequency of a sound or musical tone. ^[e]
Voice (music) [r]: The full range of sound audible to most humans, up to approximately 20 KHz, which can be produced by a human voice trained in music (i.e., singing) ^[e]
