articulatory
Related to pronunciation
Articulatory relates to the physical production of speech sounds—the movements of tongue, lips, teeth, and vocal cords that shape language: articulatory phonetics, articulatory gestures.
The term appears mainly in linguistics and speech pathology, describing how sounds are formed rather than how they're perceived or classified.
