ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Glottal consonant

A glottal consonant is a sound made using your voice. It is made by squeezing your vocal cords together and pushing air out. It is like making the sound between the letters 'h' and 'k' in the word 'hiking'. It is a special type of sound that can help make words and phrases clearer.
