Consonantal sound represented by ?β? in IPA
Voiced bilabial approximant

The
voiced bilabial fricative
is a type of
consonantal
sound, used in some
spoken
languages
. The symbol in the
International Phonetic Alphabet
that represents this sound is ⟨
β
⟩, and the equivalent
X-SAMPA
symbol is
B
. The official symbol ⟨
β
⟩ is the
Greek letter
beta
.
This letter is also often used to represent the bilabial
approximant
, though that is more precisely written with a lowering diacritic, that is ⟨
β?
⟩. That sound may also be transcribed as an advanced
labiodental approximant
⟨
??
⟩, in which case the diacritic is again frequently omitted, since no contrast is likely.
[1]
[2]
It has been proposed that either a turned ?
β
? (approximately ??) or reversed ?
β
? be used as a dedicated symbol for the bilabial approximant, but despite occasional usage this has not gained general acceptance.
[3]
It is extremely rare for a language to make a phonemic contrast between the voiced bilabial fricative and the bilabial approximant. The
Mapos Buang language
of
New Guinea
contains this contrast. Its bilabial approximant is analyzed as filling a phonological gap in the labiovelar series of the consonant system rather than the bilabial series.
[4]
Proto-Germanic
[5]
and
Proto-Italic
[6]
are also reconstructed as having had this contrast, albeit with
[β]
being an allophone for another consonant in both cases. In
Bashkir language
, it is an intervocal allophone of
/b/
, and it is contrastive with
/w/
: балабы? [b????β?ð] - "our child", балауы? [b????w?ð] - "wax".
The bilabial fricative is diachronically unstable (likely to be considerably varied between dialects of a language that makes use of it) and is likely to shift to
[v]
.
[7]
The sound is not the primary realization of any sound in
English
dialects except for
Chicano English
, but it can be produced by approximating the normal English
[v]
between the lips; it can also sometimes occur as an allophone of
/v/
after bilabial consonants.

Phonetic studies such as
Quilis (1981)
have found that Spanish voiced stops may surface as spirants with various degrees of constriction. These allophones are
not limited to regular fricative articulations, but range from articulations that involve a near complete oral closure to articulations
involving a degree of aperture quite close to vocalization
