The voiced bilabial implosive is a voiced consonant spoken with both lips ( bilabially ) that is spoken with an inward flow of air ( implosive ). He is the equivalent of the implosive [ b ] . Its symbol in the IPA phonetic transcription is [ɓ] .
distribution
It occurs in several African languages, e.g. B. in Hausa and in Bantu languages such as Swahili , Chishona , isiXhosa and isiZulu . In the languages mentioned, apart from Swahili, it is orthographically differentiated from the “European” b , which is a separate phoneme here, which by no means only occurs in European loanwords.
pronunciation
The negative pressure required for implosion is created by starting the articulation with the larynx closed.
Articulation aid:
- First hum the corresponding nasal sound: "mmm"
- Then insert the larynx closure ("bə ' ˀ aʁbaitən") that is usual for the German vowel sound : "mˀmˀm"
- Then add a vowel: "ˀma:"
- Then replace the nasal sound with the plosive sound: "ˀba:"
- Now you can avoid exhaling and come to the "ɓa:"
