==== Radical consonants ====
{{Main|Radical consonant}}
Radical consonants either use the root of the tongue or the [[epiglottis]] during production.{{Sfn|Ladefoged|Maddieson|5=1996|p=11}}

[[Pharyngeal consonant]]s are made by retracting the root of the tongue far enough to touch the wall of the [[pharynx]]. Due to production difficulties, only fricatives and approximants can be produced this way.{{Sfn|Lodge|2009|p=33}}{{Sfn|Ladefoged|Maddieson|1996|p=37}}

[[Epiglottal consonant]]s are made with the epiglottis and the back wall of the pharynx. Epiglottal stops have been recorded in [[Dahalo language|Dahalo]].{{Sfn|Ladefoged|Maddieson|1996|p=37}} Voiced epiglottal consonants are not deemed possible due to the cavity between the [[glottis]] and epiglottis being too small to permit voicing.{{Sfn|Ladefoged|Maddieson|1996|p=38}}
