Can anyone provide me with a chart that displays all letters in English that are associated with velar, dental, guttural, etc.? I also need one for Greek letters, too. I've searched all over the internet, but what I find is too complicated for me to understand. I just need something simple.

gutturals: g, k . . .
velars: . . .

Thank you.

I'm not prepared to do all you ask, but I'll give you a start.
By the way, it is not letters that can be so classified, but sounds.

The following deal only with consonants.

The explanations from 1-3 (not the examples) are from Basics of Biblical Greek by William D. Mounce, p. 79:

1. Labials are formed by using the lips to impede the air flow momentarily, which is essential in creating the sound.

Examples: p (whispered), b (voiced), f (whispered), v (voiced)

2. Velars are fromed by pushing up the middle of the tongue against the soft part of the roof of the mouth.

Examples: k (whispered), g (voiced), ch (as in "Bach")

3. Dentals are formed by clicking the tongue against the back of the teeth.
[Mounce gives a footnote which states "Actually it is not the teeth but the 'alveolar ridge' behind the teeth that is used, but the word 'teeth' is easier for most to associate with 'dental' "]

Examples: t (whispered), d (voiced), th (whispered as in "thin"),
th (voiced as in "though")

4. Nasals are sounds which are emitted through the nose.

Examples: m (with the mouth closed), n (with the mouth open, and the tongue against the upper front teeth or the alveolar ridge.

5. The following are consonant sounds which can be sustained (so can the nasals). I call them "liquids". I do not know the official name. I think some of them are called "trills".

l, r, s (whispered), z (voiced), sh (whispered), zh (voiced as in "azure")

6. A combination of dental and liquid:

tsh (whispered as in "chair"), dzh (voiced as in "jam")

By the way, it is not letters that can be so classified, but sounds.

Thanks for pointing that out. That's probably why I'm finding it hard to get a simple chart, though I did find this site:
