    Speech is a natural form of communication for human beings. Speech involves sound box in throat and mouth. Sound is produced by air coming out from lungs and cause the vibration of vocal cords in sound box which produces voice and tongue, teeth and lips articulate accordingly. We use language every day without devoting much thought to the process, but articulatory movement—the movement of the lips, tongue, and other organs—is among the subtlest and most adept of any actions performed by human beings. The mechanism of speech is composed of four processes: language processing, in which the content of an utterance is converted into phonemic symbols in the brain’s language center; generation of motor commands to the vocal organs in the brain’s motor center; articulatory movement for the production of speech by the vocal organs based on these motor commands; and the emission of air sent from the lungs in the form of speech. All sounds which come from the mouth and nose are the result of interruptions and/or modifications of a stream of air moving from the lungs through trachea, larynx, pharynx, oral cavity and nasal cavity. The Airstream provides energy for speech production and any constrictions which create obstacles to free movement of air through larynx and/or above larynx create sound. Basically, the speech process involves respiration, phonation, resonation and articulation.
