Avoiceless labiodental nasal (stop) is a type ofconsonantal sound, used in somespokenlanguages. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɱ̊⟩, a combination of the letter for thevoiced labiodental nasal and adiacritic indicatingvoicelessness, in certain sources, the voicelessness diacritic can be found below ⟨ɱ̥⟩.^[1]

Features of a voiceless labiodental nasal:

• 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.
• Itsplace of articulation islabiodental, which means it is articulated with the lowerlip and the upperteeth.
• Itsphonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds.
• Because the sound is not produced with airflow over the tongue, thecentral–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.
