Features of the voiced alveolar lateral fricative:

Its Manner Of Articulation is Fricative , which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing Turbulence .

Its Place Of Articulation is Alveolar , which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the Alveolar Ridge , termed respectively '' Apical '' and '' Laminal ''.

Its Phonation type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.

It is an Oral Consonant , which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.

It is a Lateral Consonant , which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the sides of the tongue, rather than the middle of the tongue.
