Template:Redirect-distinguish2 In phonetics and phonology, a bilabial stop is a type of consonantal sound, made with both lips (hence bilabial), held tightly enough to block the passage of air (hence a stop consonant). The most common sounds are the stops Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA"., as in English pit and bit, and the voiced nasal Script error: No such module "IPA".. [1] More generally, several kinds are distinguished:
- Script error: No such module "IPA"., voiceless bilabial plosive[2]
- Script error: No such module "IPA"., voiced bilabial plosive
- Script error: No such module "IPA"., voiced bilabial nasal
- Script error: No such module "IPA"., voiceless bilabial nasal
- Script error: No such module "IPA"., voiced bilabial implosive
- Script error: No such module "IPA"., bilabial ejective (rare)
- Script error: No such module "IPA". or Script error: No such module "IPA"., voiceless bilabial implosive (very rare)
