AN ENDEAVOUR TO REDEFINE CONSONANT SOUNDS IN RP (RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION)

This paper will emphasis on consonant sounds. As per the data available we have 24 consonant sounds in RP (Received Pronunciation). I have noticed one sound i.e, /dh/ which needs to be added in consonant sounds in RP. I will be providing more information on this sound in the text. As the words which starts with /dh/ are from Indian origin therefore, they should be pronounced in the same sense. The place and manner of articulation will be also described. I feel that this particular sound should be added in consonant sound and as a result the number of consonant sounds will become 25 in RP (Received Pronunciation).
