Labial–uvular consonant
(Redirected from Labial-uvular consonant)
Labial–uvular consonants (also labio-uvular consonants) are doubly articulated consonants that occur at two places of articulation, the lips and the uvula. They have been attested in Lese, a Mangbutu-Efe language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.[1][2][3]
Labial–uvular stops
[edit]One labial–uvular stop is attested, [q͡p], and it is present in the Lese language, occurring as an allophone of /q͡ɓ/, which is mostly likely another labial–uvular stop with significant lowering and a strong release.[1][2] The standard labial–uvular stop is also found in Iha.[4][5]
