Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These are the voiceless consonants: Ch, F, K, P, S, Sh, T, and Th (as in “thing").
Detailed explanation-2: -The K sound is a voiceless or unvoiced sound because the vocal cords do not vibrate when you make the sound. Instead, we use air to make the sound.
Detailed explanation-3: -The /ʤ/ sound is voiced, i.e., produced with vibration of the vocal cords.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sound /ʃ/ is a voiceless, alveo-palatal, fricative consonant. Lightly press the middle of your tongue between your alveolar ridge and your soft palate. The sides of your tongue should lightly touch your back upper teeth. Breathe out and allow air to flow past your tongue.
