[s], alveolar voiceless fricative, is produced as this: the blade
of the tongue is raised towards alveolar region to form a narrow
opening between the blade of the tongue and alveolar region. The
tongue is contracted sideways and a groove is formed along the
middle of the tongue. The air from the lung passes through the
narrow opening causing friction. The vocal cords do not vibrate.
