[m, n, ŋ, l, w, j, r]
Sonorants are sounds pronounced with tone prevailing over noise; the air passage is rather wide when they are produced. When producing sonorants there is only a partial closure or an unimpeded oral or nasal escape of air; such articulations, typically voiced, and frequently frictionless, without noise component, thus they share many phonetic characteristics with vowels.
