Avoiced labiodental fricative is a type ofconsonantal sound used in somespoken languages. It is familiar to English-speakers as the "v" sound in "vase". The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨v⟩.

The sound is similar tovoiced alveolar fricative/z/ in that it is familiar to most European speakers^{[citation needed]} but is a fairly uncommon sound cross-linguistically, occurring in approximately 21.1% of languages.^[1] Moreover, most languages that have/z/ also have/v/ and similarly to/z/, the overwhelming majority of languages with[v] are languages ofEurope,Africa, orWestern Asia, although the similarlabiodental approximant/ʋ/ is also common in India. The presence of[v] and absence of[w], is a very distinctiveareal feature of European languages and those of adjacent areas ofSiberia andCentral Asia.^{[citation needed]} Speakers ofEast Asian languages that lack this sound may pronounce it as[b] (Korean andJapanese), or[f]/[w] (Cantonese andMandarin), and thus be unable to distinguish between a number of English minimal pairs.^{[citation needed]}

In certain languages, such asDanish,^[2]Faroese,^[3]Icelandic orNorwegian^[4] the voiced labiodental fricative is in a free variation with thelabiodental approximant.

Features

[edit]

Features of a voiced labiodental fricative:

Itsmanner of articulation isfricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causingturbulence.
Itsplace of articulation islabiodental, which means it is articulated with the lowerlip and the upperteeth.
Itsphonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
It is anoral consonant, which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose.
Because the sound is not produced with airflow over the tongue, themedian–lateral dichotomy does not apply.
Itsairstream mechanism ispulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air only with theintercostal muscles andabdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
