The International Phonetic Alphabet is an alphabet designed to represent the sounds of various languages. See Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet.

Pulmonic Consonants

Labial Coronal Dorsal Radical
Bilabial Labiodental Dental Alveolar Postalveolar Retroflex Palatal Velar Uvular Pharyngeal Epiglottal Glottal
Nasal m ɱ n̪ n n̠ ɳ ɲ ŋ ɴ N/A

Lateral affricate N/A tɬ dɮ N/A
Lateral fricative ɬ̪ ɮ̪ ɬ ɮ ɬ̠ ɮ̠ ɭ̝ ʎ̝ ʟ̝
Lateral approximant l̪ l l̠ ɭ ʎ ʟ

Coarticulated pulmonic consonants

ʍ Voiceless labial-velar fricative (approximant)
w Labial-velar approximant (semivowel)
ɥ Labial-palatal approximant (semivowel)
ɕ ʑ Alveolo-palatal fricatives
ɺ Alveolar lateral flap
ɧ Supposedly, simultaneous ʃ and x. In practice, mostly used for a macrophoneme of Swedish varying from [fʷ] to [ʂ] to [χ].
Affricates and double articulations can be represented by two symbols joined by a tie bar if necessary.
