Features

Features of the voiced alveolar implosive:

Its manner of articulation is plosive or stop, which means it's produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it's 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 central consonant, which means it's produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
The airstream mechanism is glottalic ingressive, which means it's produced by pulling air downward with the glottis, rather than pushing it out.
