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.
