Template:Redirect-distinguish2 In phonetics and phonology, a bilabial stop is a type of consonantal sound, made with both lips (hence bilabial), held tightly enough to block the passage of air (hence a stop consonant). The most common sounds are the stops {{#invoke:IPA|main}} and {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, as in English pit and bit, and the voiced nasal {{#invoke:IPA|main}}. <ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> More generally, several kinds are distinguished:
- {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, voiceless bilabial plosive<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

- {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, voiced bilabial plosive
- {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, voiced bilabial nasal
- {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, voiceless bilabial nasal
- {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, voiced bilabial implosive
- {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, bilabial ejective (rare)
- {{#invoke:IPA|main}} or {{#invoke:IPA|main}}, voiceless bilabial implosive (very rare)
