Voiced labiodental flap
Consonantal sound represented by ⟨ⱱ⟩ in IPA / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"ⱱ" redirects here. Not to be confused with the Cyrillic letter Izhitsa.
In phonetics, the voiced labiodental flap is a speech sound found primarily in languages of Central Africa, such as Kera and Mangbetu. It has also been reported in the Austronesian language Sika.[1] It is one of the few non-rhotic flaps. The sound begins with the lower lip placed behind the upper teeth. The lower lip is then flipped outward, striking the upper teeth in passing.[2]
