Avoiced linguolabial nasal is a type ofconsonantal sound used in some spokenlanguages. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents it is ⟨n̼⟩ or less commonly ⟨m̼⟩.

Features of a voiced linguolabial nasal:

• Itsmanner of articulation isocclusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Because the consonant is alsonasal, the blocked airflow is redirected through the nose.
• Itsplace of articulation islinguolabial, which means it is articulated with the tongue against the upperlip.
• Itsphonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
• It is anasal consonant, which means air is exclusively allowed to escape through the nose for nasal stops; otherwise, in addition to through the mouth.
• It is amedian consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream down the midline of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
• Itsairstream mechanism ispulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air only with theintercostal muscles andabdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
