The voiced labiodental plosive or stop is a consonant sound produced like a [b], but with the lower lip contacting the upper teeth, as in [v]. This can be represented in the IPA as b̪ . A separate symbol that is sometimes seen, especially in Bantu linguistics, but not recognized by the IPA, is the db ligature ȸ .
The affricate with this stop component is called bilabial-labiodental. labiodental, which means it is articulated with the lower lip and the upper teeth. The fricative component of this affricate is labiodental, articulated with the lower lip and the upper teeth. Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
[citation needed] To native speakers, the English alveolar /t/ and /d/ sound more like the corresponding retroflex consonants of their languages than like dentals. [ citation needed ] Spanish /t/ and /d/ are denti-alveolar , [ 2 ] while /l/ and /n/ are prototypically alveolar but assimilate to the place of articulation of a following consonant.
The voiced alveolar, dental and postalveolar plosives (or stops) are types of consonantal sounds used in many spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents voiced dental, alveolar, and postalveolar plosives is d (although the symbol d̪ can be used to distinguish the dental plosive, and d̠ the postalveolar), and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is d.
The voiceless labiodental plosive or stop is a consonant sound produced like a [p], but with the lower lip contacting the upper teeth, as in [f]. This can be represented in the IPA as p̪ . A separate symbol not recognized by the IPA that was occasionally seen, especially in Bantu linguistics, is the qp ligature ȹ .
Labialization is a secondary articulatory feature of sounds in some languages. Labialized sounds involve the lips while the remainder of the oral cavity produces another sound. The term is normally restricted to consonants. When vowels involve the lips, they are called rounded.

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 [p] and [b], as in English pit and bit, and the voiced nasal [m]. [1] More generally, several kinds are distinguished:
