| ⟨m̪⟩ is a synonym, explicitly supported by extIPA. |
ɱ
- (IPA)labiodentalnasal.
- Synonym:m̪
- (superscript⟨ᶬ⟩, IPA)[ɱ]-prenasalization,[ɱ]-release or post-nasalization,[ɱ]-coloring or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic[ɱ].
- Synonym:ᵐ̪
This symbol is redundant in the IPA, and is included for historical reasons. It is only attested as anallophone of /m/ (or some other nasal) before [f] and [v]. (Phonemic/ɱ/ has been claimed for a single language, but that claim is disputed.) Per normal IPA conventions, the sound it indicates should thus be transcribed as⟨m̪⟩. However, several votes to retire the letter have failed.
