A voiced linguolabial affricate is a rare type of consonantal sound, used in disordered speech. It is not in English.
Characteristics
- The phonation is voiced. This means that the vocal cords vibrate while the sound is being pronounced.
- The place of articulation (where the sound is produced) is linguolabial. This means that this sound is produced with the tongue against the upper lip.
- The manner of articulation (how the sound is produced) is affricate. This means that this sound is produced by first stopping the air flowing from the mouth, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place this sound is produced, to make turbulence.
