Alabial–alveolar ejective stop is a type ofconsonantal sound used in somespoken languages. It is a[t] and[p] pronounced simultaneously and as an ejective. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨t͡pʼ⟩. It was used dialectally in Ubykh.^{[citation needed]}

Features of a voiceless labial–alveolar plosive are:

• Itsmanner of articulation isocclusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Since the consonant is also oral, with nonasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is aplosive.
• Itsplace of articulation islabial–alveolar, which means that it is simultaneously articulated with the front part of thetongue against thealveolar ridge and thelips.
• Itsphonation is un-voiced, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
• It is anoral consonant, which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose.
• It is acentral consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
• Theairstream mechanism isejective (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping theglottis upward.
