A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract. Plosives are properly stops with airflow out of the mouth. Sometimes the term stop includes nasal stops, more commonly simply called nasals, in which airflow is stopped in the mouth, but released through the nose.
