What Wikipedia says

A median consonant, also known as a central consonant (not to be confused with the articulation of a central vowel), is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows along the midline of the mouth over the tongue. The class contrasts with lateral consonants, in which air flows over one or both sides of the tongue.
