Avoiceless linguolabial plosive is a rareconsonantal sound used in some spokenlanguages. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents it is ⟨t̼⟩ or less commonly ⟨p̺⟩.

Features:

• 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 islinguolabial, which means it is articulated with the tongue against the upperlip.
• 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.
• It is anoral consonant, which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose.
• Itsairstream mechanism ispulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air only with theintercostal muscles andabdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
