Are glottal consonants actually sonorant?

Open danmysak opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The glottal stop (ʔ) as well as both voiced (ɦ) and voiceless (h) glottal fricatives are classified as sonorant. Should they really be?

Yes, this has been the general consensus among phonologists for some time.
