	Voiced bilabial plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The voiced bilabial plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		The voiced bilabial plosive occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter "b" in boy.
		Its place of articulation is bilabial which means it is articulated with both lips.

	Approximant consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants.
		When emphasized, approximants may be slightly fricated (that is, the airstream may become slightly turbulent), which is reminiscent of fricatives.
		Occasionally the glottal "fricatives" are called approximants, since [h] typically has no more frication than voiceless approximants, but they are often phonations of the glottis without any accompanying manner or place of articulation.

	Voiced bilabial fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The voiced bilabial fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		This symbol is also sometimes used to represent the bilabial approximant, though that is more clearly written with the lowering diacritic, β̞.
		Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.

	approximant Information Center - voiced apico-alveolar retroflex approximant
		For example, the voiceless labial-velar approximant [ʍ] is generally called a fricative, despite doubts that such doubly articulated fricatives are even possible.
		Therefore the IPA allows the symbols for the voiced fricatives to double up the approximant dates of the middle ages for the central approximants, with or without a lowering diacritic.
		Occasionally the glottal "fricatives" are called approximants as well, but they are actually phonations of the glottis without any accompanying manner or place of articulation.

	Bilabial consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In phonetics, a bilabial consonant is a consonant articulated with both lips.
		The bilabial consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are:
		Owere Igbo has a six-way contrast among bilabial plosives: [p pʰ ɓ̥ b b̤ ɓ].

		Phonemic symbols will frequently be chosen to avoid diacritics as much as possible, under a 'one sound one symbol' policy, or may even be restricted to the ASCII symbols of a typical keyboard.
		For example, the Spanish bilabial approximant is commonly written as a lowered fricative, [β̞].
		A few languages such as Banda have a bilabial flap as the preferred allophone of what is elsewhere a labiodental flap.

	Bilabial approximant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The IPA symbol is created by adding a lowering diacritic to the symbol for the voiced bilabial fricative.
		The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
		In Spanish, a bilabial approximant, or a sound between an approximant and a fricative, is found as an allophone of /b/ between vowels, as in vivo [biβ̞o] 'living(adj.), (I) live'.

		H: Approximants are similar in their manner of articulation to fricatives, but are produced without friction, without making the airstream turbulent.
		H: The lateral approximants are articulated with the air escaping around a central obstruction.
		Where a symbol might be interpreted as denoting either a fricative or an approximant, the raising symbol makes it clear we mean the fricative, as in the voiced apico-alveolar fricative, ["OA].

	Voiced epiglottal fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Although traditionally placed in the fricative row of the IPA chart, [ʢ] is usually an approximant.
		Sometimes the lowering diacritic is used to specify that the manner is approximant: [ʢ̞].
		Its manner of articulation is approximant, or occasionally fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a channel at the place of articulation that is not usually narrow enough to cause turbulence.

	Places of articulation
		We can create a symbol for the voiced bilabial approximant by placing the "lowered" or "more open" diacritic (a small T with the line pointing downward) underneath the symbol for the voiced bilabial fricative, the Greek letter beta.
		The English bilabial sounds are [p], [b], and [m].
		It is also possible to have velar approximants by themselves and to have velar fricatives.

	The Tengwar for Esperanto
		The basic facts we need to begin constructing a Tengwar mode for any given language are (a) a phoneme inventory, and (b) whether its basic syllables are "closed" (consonent-ended, like English and Tolkien's Westron) or "open" (vowel-ended, like Italian or Tolkien's Quenya).
		Note that this sound varies considerably by English dialect; the American form is typically a retroflex palatal, the British Received Pronunciation form front alveolar, and some Scots dialects use a trilled r.
		Does not occur in English, though it is closely approximated by American English slang "fooey".

	Multiple articulations
		[w]: a simultaneous dorso-velar approximant and bilabial approximant (or lip rounding)
		While nasality and the state of the glottis are properties of the entire consonant, we have to answer four of the questions separately for each constriction:
		Secondary articulations are approximants that are articulated at the same time as a stop or a fricative (or a lateral approximant), which is the primary articulation.

		/rh/ is both described as "retroflex" and compared to a sound which is a palato-pharyngeal approximant (the Irish/American /r/).
		Just to be picky: the unit of phonology is, as far as I know, the phonEme, as opposed to the phonOme.
		There might instead be a voiced/voiceless pair of labials which have bilabial and labio-dental allophones.

		The bilabial approximant /w/ is, in articulation, an extreme /u/ and the palatal approximant /j/ is similarly, like an extreme /i/.
		The lateral approximant /l/ also has features of a central vowel, but unlike /r/ does not have a low F3.
		Use the vowel interface to synthesize stationary copies of each of the four approximant consonants w, r, l, j.

		For instance, I know this from Hebrew where the waw used to be pronounced as bilabial and then later on turned into labiodental among some speakers.
		Like the lateral approximant is all by itself in its row.
		Bilabial flaps and dental approximants are unattested, though not judged impossible. If you look at the IPA chart here, you can see the canonical sounds of the lgs of the world. The areas shaded grey are judged to be impossible articulations.

		These frictionless continuants are to be considered as consonants on account of their consequent lack of prominence as compared with the adjoining vowels.)
		Formed by the Lateral and Approximant manners of articulation, ie, made by an obstruction in the air-passage, and produced with no friction, with a weak breath force.
		Formed by as plosive consonants, but with slower separation of the articulating organs, so thatthe corresponding fricative is audible as the separation takes place.
