| IPA | Description | Example | |||

Notes:
- /ɱ/ is not a separate phoneme in English, but an allophone of /m/ that occurs before /v/ and /f/.
- The stops (the plosives and the nasal) are not confirmed to exist as separate phonemes in any language.
The plosives are sometimes written as ȸ ȹ (that is, qp and db monograms). Some languages, such as XiNkuna Tsonga, have true labiodental affricates, such as [b̪v], as opposed to the bilabial-labiodental affricate [pf] of German.
