"Labial stop" redirects here. Not to be confused with a labiodental stop.
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:
[p], voiceless bilabial plosive[2]
[b], voiced bilabial plosive
[m], voiced bilabial nasal
[m̥], voiceless bilabial nasal
[ɓ], voiced bilabial implosive
[pʼ], bilabial ejective (rare)
[ɓ̥] or [pʼ↓], voiceless bilabial implosive (very rare)
