[edit] Features
Features of the bilabial ejective:
- Its manner of articulation is plosive or stop, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
- Its place of articulation is bilabial which means it is articulated with both lips,
- Its phonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
- It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
- It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.
- The airstream mechanism is glottalic egressive, which means it is produced by pushing air with the glottis, rather than with the diaphragm.
[edit] Occurs in
- Ethiopian Semitic languages
- Oromo
- Quechua: /p/, /pʰ/, and /pʼ/ constitute a series of separate phonemes
- Ubykh contrasts /pʼ pˤʼ/ with /p pˤ b bˤ/.
