	LINGUIST List 13.2072: Ventriloquists & Labial Consonants
		If the fake labial consonants are produced fluently, then the listener's phonotactic and lexical knowledge will work to the ventriloquist's advantage.
		If the dummy's mouth and arms and eyebrows are all moving in synchrony with the words, and the ventriloquist seems to be reacting to the content of the speech, then the observer's mind interprets the scene in the most obvious way: the dummy is the one speaking.
		Labials are replaced with velars (both share the feature of gravity in the Jakobsonian system -- and consider changes such as earlier English /x/ gives /f/ in words like _enough_), hence stereotypes such as _a gottle of geer_ rather than _a bottle of beer_.

	Proto-Semitic Language and Culture. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000
		There were five triads of homorganic consonants (pronounced in the same area of the mouth); each triad consisted of a voiced, voiceless, and emphatic consonant.
		The emphatic consonants are characteristic of Semitic; in Proto-Semitic they were probably glottalized, that is, produced with a simultaneous closing of the glottis in the throat; this is how they are still pronounced in the Ethiopian Semitic languages.
		The outcomes of the Proto-Semitic consonants in Akkadian, Ethiopic, Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic are illustrated in the table "Proto-Semitic Sound Correspondences".

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Labial consonant
		Labials are consonants articulated either with both lips (bilabial articulation) or with the lower lip and the upper teeth (labiodental articulation).
		Postalveolar (or palato-alveolar) consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants) and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
		Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.

	Numerology
		Consonants with other primary articulations may be palatalised, that is, accompanied by the raising of the tongue surface towards the hard palate.
		The consonants commonly called "palatal" are also pronounced in the palatal region, but are more precisely "dorso-palatal", meaning that they are dorsal (articulated with the dorsum or back of the tongue), rather than coronal like retroflex consonants.
		Dentals are consonants such as t, d, n, and l articulated with either the lower or the upper teeth, or both, rather than with the gum ridge as in English.

	Voiced labial-velar approximant in TutorGig Encyclopedia
		The 'voiced labiovelar' (actually 'labialized velar') 'approximant' is a type of consonantal sound, used in certain spoken languages.
		Its place of articulation is labialized velar, which means it is articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) raised toward the soft palate (the velum) and the lips rounded.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.

	Anishinaabemowin Grammar
		Consonants can be classified on the basis of where in the vocal tract they are made (called their place of articulation), and the particular way that they are made (called their manner of articulation).
		Basic nasal consonants are made with an oral closure (complete stoppage of the airflow), so they resemble (oral) stops in some ways, but they differ from them in that the soft palate is lowered in the production of a nasal, allowing air to flow into the nasal cavity, and out of the nose.
		Consonants articulated in the area of the hard palate are said to be palatal.

		Nasal consonants are produced by allowing the air to only pass through the nasal cavity, by lowering the velum to block the flow of air through the mouth.
		Voiceless consonants are consonants in which the onset of vocal cord vibration follows the release of the consonantal closure.
		Voiced consonants are consonants in which the onset of vocal cord vibration precedes or is simultaneous with the release of the consonantal closure.

		She goes on to say that in closed syllables, "the transition between the labiodentalized consonant and the final consonant is so close that one hardly hears the vowel and one is inclined to assume syllabic consonants" (p.
		And fifth, the location of the friction, or its peak intensity, is variable (in (1a) it is in the first half of the vowel, in (1b) towards the end of the vowel), though is associated with almost the entire duration of the vowel.
		There appears to be little reason, then, to add labiodentalized or palatalized consonants to the phonetic inventory of Len, claim this is precipitated by the high central unrounded vowel, and then subsequently have to argue that this feature spreads back to the vowel, or syllable nucleus.

	STRONG INTERACTION BETWEEN FACTORS INFLUENCING CONSONANT DURATION - Title
		Unstressed consonants from a medial and final position in the word have similar durations and both differ markedly from unstressed consonants from a word-initial position.
		The differences in duration between Coronal and Labial consonants are statistically significant for the word-medial position (p<=0.001, two-tailed WMPSR test on the values in figures 2, both speakers combined, n=16), but not for the word-initial position, (p>0.05, n=12).
		Consonants occupy the three tiers according to their prime articulator and syllable stress.

		A consonant's place of articulation is defined by the place in the mouth where the air flow is constricted or stopped and what articulators are making the constriction.
		The labial consonants are articulated with your lips in the case of /p/, /b/ and /m/ or your lips and upper teeth in the case of /f/ and /v/.
		The velar consonants /k/, /g/ and /N/ (as well as /x/ for those of us who don't lock our lochs) are pronounced by placing the back of your tongue up against the back of your mouth, which is known as the soft palate or velum.

	The Labial Stop Consonants
		Bb, Pp, Ff A "stop consonant" is a consonant whose sound is formed by slowing down or abruptly stopping the flow of air through the mouth before being released with an expulsion of breath and sound.
		These nine stop consonants may be further subdivided into three classes: the palatals, the dentals, and the labials.
		Labial consonantal stops belong to the same class of consonants because they are formed by closing, nearly closing, or rounding the lips.

		As is the case with all the labials (b, p, v, f, m, w), the two are not equal.
		Speaking as a computer programmer, the labials are for expressing hierarchy or level; the dentals are pointers; and the velars are for typing or classification.

	Pronunciation of Ancient Greek Phi
		Although this is not clear evidence, the most reasonable hypothesis is that in these dialects the aspiration after the plosive consonant was omitted, rather than that fricative [f] was transformed to plosive [p] (there is no such general trend in these dialects).
		Such a transformation of the reduplicated consonant from dasy (th, ph, kh) to its corresponding psilo (t, p, k) is not casual.
		Continuous consonants, including fricatives, are doubled normally: -σσ-, -λλ-, -μμ-, -νν-, -ρρ-, which in ancient Greek were pronounced by prolonging the articulation of the consonant.

	Consonants
		We classify the consonants by 1) where the obstuction occurs, 2) the degree of closure produced by the obstruction, 3) whether the nasal passages are open or closed, 4) the constrast between voicing and nonvoicing, and 5) other factors.
		We often shorten the terminology and say that /b/ and /p/ are labial, that /t/ and /d/ are dental, and that /k/ and /g/ are velar.
		The /l/ in 'lango' = tongue is a lateral consonant in the sense that the tongue blocks the oral cavity in the middle but allows air to flow out on one or both sides.

	Indoeuropean
		The set of softer "voiced" consonants "b," "d," "g" (followed by momentary vibration of the vocal cords), posited in the protolanguage, had apparently given way to the corresponding hard set "p," "t," "k." According to Grimm's law, this had come about by "devoicing" those consonants ("p," for example, is unaccompanied by vocal vibration).
		An uncontested peculiarity of the sound system of the protolanguage, for example, is the near absence, or suppression, of one of the three consonants "p," "b" or "v," which are labials (consonants sounded with the lips).
		It is associated with two other voiced stop consonants: "d" (stopped by the forward part of the tongue against the palate) and "g" (stopped by the back of the tongue against the palate).

		A glyph in a syllabary typically represents a consonant followed by a vowel, or just a vowel alone, though in some scripts more complex syllables (such as consonant-vowel-consonant, or consonant-consonant-vowel) may have dedicated glyphs.
		As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language.
		Sometimes the term "alphabet" is restricted to systems with separate letters for consonants and vowels, such as the Latin alphabet.
