Comment: I have un-rejected your draft. However, you should replace the WP:user-generated sources with reliable ones, and add more content to the article directly describing the sound for the draft to have a chance of acceptance. Ca talk to me! 03:50, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Hi @Ca, I'd like to respectfully disagree with the rejection of my draft article on the voiceless linguolabial nasal. This sound might be notable due to its potential relevance to disordered speech, as evidenced by the existence of dedicated articles on similar sounds like upper-pharyngeal plosives. Ca, I'd appreciate any feedback you can provide on how I can improve the article or what I can do to make it more suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Thanks for your time and consideration. Note: An AI Leo built into Brave helped me rewrite this sentence mostly. BodhiHarp
- Comment: I'm sorry, but a sound used in zero languages is not an encyclopedic topic. Ca talk to me! 12:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: @Ca: This is a small number of references, but other articles on linguolabial consonants seem to have almost the same number of references, so is it ready for resubmission? BodhiHarp (talk · contribs) 07:25:11, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

The voiceless linguolabial nasal (stop) is a rare type of consonantal sound. It is like the ⟨n⟩ in not, except that the tongue comes in contact with the upper lip, rather than the alveolar ridge, making it sound similar to the ⟨m⟩ in mop, but not like a double articulation of the ⟨n⟩ in not and the ⟨m⟩ in mop like the voiced labial-alveolar nasal, and instead of being voiced (with vocal cord vibration), it is voiceless (without vocal cord vibration).
The symbol that represents this sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet is ⟨n̼̊⟩[1] (devoiced and linguolabialized n), or ⟨m̺̊⟩[2] (devoiced and apical m), but most commonly, linguolabial consonants aren't apical.[3] The equivalent X-SAMPA symbols are n_N_0 and m_a_0 respectively.
Features
[edit]- Its manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Because the consonant is also nasal, the blocked airflow is redirected through the nose.
- Its place of articulation is linguolabial, which means it is articulated with the tongue against the upper lip.[4]
- It is a nasal consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the nose, either exclusively (nasal stops) or in addition to through the mouth.
- Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
- Its airstream mechanism is pulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air solely with the intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
Occurrence
[edit]It is unlikely that it occurs in any languages, but it however can occur in disordered speech,[citation needed] and both the symbol ⟨n̼̊⟩ and this sound are found in the ExtIPA. [1]
