The IPA chart shades out ''labiodental lateral consonants''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=IPA|date=2018|title=Consonants (Pulmonic)|url=https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/IPAcharts/IPA_Kiel_2018_pulmonicC_1200.png|access-date=June 20, 2020|website=International Phonetic Association}}</ref> This is sometimes read as indicating that such sounds are not possible. In fact, the fricatives {{IPA|[f]}} and {{IPA|[v]}} often have lateral airflow, but no language makes a distinction for centrality, and the allophony is not noticeable.

The IPA symbol {{IPA|ɧ}} refers to a sound occurring in [[Swedish language|Swedish]], officially described as similar to the [[velar consonant|velar]] fricative [x], but one dialectal variant is a rounded, velarized labiodental, less ambiguously rendered as {{IPA|[fˠʷ]}}. The labiodental click is an allophonic variant of the (bi)labial click.
