The sonority hierarchy is a ranklist of speech sounds. Speech sounds are typically ranked according to their [[manner of articulation]]. Accordingly, in all sonority hierarchies, vowels are at the top of the hierarchy, consonants at the bottom. Most hierarchies are more finely graded, e.g., vowels > sonorant consonants > obstruents (Zec 1995), or vowels > liquids > nasals > obstruents (Clements 1990), or vowels > liquids > nasals > voiced fricatives > voiceless fricatives = voiced plosives > voiceless plosives (Anderson & Ewen 1987). Some hierarchies assign each individual sound to a rank of its own, thus ranking sounds also according to their [[place of articulation]] (Ladefoged 1993).
