In phonetics, a bilabial consonant is a labial consonant articulated with both lips.

Transcription

The bilabial consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are:

IPADescriptionExample
Language Orthography IPA Meaning
bilabial nasal English man[mæn]}}
voiceless bilabial stop English spin[spɪn]}}
voiced bilabial stop English bed[bɛd]}}
voiceless bilabial fricative Japanese 富士山 (fujisan)[ɸuʑisaɴ]}} Mount Fuji
voiced bilabial fricative Ewe ɛʋɛ[ɛ̀βɛ̀]}} Ewe
bilabial approximant Spanish lobo[loβ̞o]}} wolf
bilabial trill Nias simbi[siʙi]}} lower jaw
bilabial ejective Adyghe пӀэ[a]}} meat

{{IPA|ʘ̬
ʘ̃
ʘ̥̃ʰ
ʘ̃ˀ}}
bilabial click release (many distinct consonants) Nǁng ʘoe[ʘoe]}} meat

Owere Igbo has a six-way contrast among bilabial stops: {{IPA|[p pʰ ɓ̥ b b̤ ɓ]}}. Approximately 0.7% of the world's languages lack bilabial consonants altogether, including Tlingit, Chipewyan, Oneida, and Wichita.[1]

The extensions to the IPA also define a {{vanchor|bilabial percussive}} ({{IPA|[ʬ]}}) for striking the lips together (smacking the lips – see percussive consonant). A lip-smack in the non-percussive sense of the lips noisily parting would be {{IPA|[ʬ↓]}}.[2]

The IPA chart shades out bilabial lateral consonants, which is sometimes read as indicating that such sounds are not possible. The fricatives {{IPA|[ɸ]}} and {{IPA|[β]}} are often lateral, but no language makes a distinction for centrality so the allophony is not noticeable.
