The voiced labial–velar approximant is a type of consonantal sound, used in certain spoken languages, including English. It is the sound denoted by the letter Template:Angbr in the English alphabet;[1] likewise, the symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is Template:Angbr IPA, or rarely Script error: No such module "IPA"., and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is w. In most languages it is the semivocalic counterpart of the close back rounded vowel Script error: No such module "IPA".. In inventory charts of languages with other labialized velar consonants, Script error: No such module "IPA". will be placed in the same column as those consonants. When consonant charts have only labial and velar columns, Script error: No such module "IPA". may be placed in the velar column, labial column, or both. The placement may have more to do with phonological criteria than phonetic ones.Template:Sfnp
Some languages have a voiced labial–prevelar approximant,Template:Efn which is more fronted than the place of articulation of the prototypical voiced labialized velar approximant, though not as front as the prototypical labialized palatal approximant.
Features
Features of the voiced labial–velar approximant:
Template:Approximant The type of approximant is glide or semivowel. The term glide emphasizes the characteristic of movement (or 'glide') of Script error: No such module "IPA". from the Script error: No such module "IPA". vowel position to a following vowel position. The term semivowel emphasizes that, although the sound is vocalic in nature, it is not 'syllabic' (it does not form the nucleus of a syllable). Template:Labiovelar Some languages, such as Japanese and perhaps the Northern Iroquoian languages, have a sound typically transcribed as Script error: No such module "IPA". where the lips are compressed (or at least not rounded), which is a true labial–velar (as opposed to labialized velar) consonant. Close transcriptions may avoid the symbol Script error: No such module "IPA". in such cases, or may use the under-rounding diacritic, Script error: No such module "IPA"..
