voiceless bilabial plosive

P is the sixteenth letter of the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is pee. Semitic Pê (mouth) as well as Greek Π or π (Pi) and the Etruscan and Latin letters that developed from the former alphabet all symbolized /p/, a plosive, unvoiced consonant. Those who speak Arabic usually have difficulty pronouncing this sound; they pronounce it like b instead. P - Phonetic use. In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive (Including:

In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive (/p/ in the IPA). A common digraph in English is "ph", which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/, and is commonly used to transliterate Phi ( φ ) in loanwords from Greek. Both initial and final P can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words. A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in N to become M before P (such as "in" + "pulse" → "impulse" — see also List of Lati ...

Klingon has been developed with a phonology that, while based on human natural languages, is intended to sound alien. The effect is mainly achieved by the use of a number of retroflex and uvular consonants in the language's inventory. Although natural languages use a number of different airstream mechanisms besides the common pulmonic egressive, these other mechanisms are not used. This is perhaps because these sounds are a lot more difficult to learn to produce if one's language does not use them. Klingon has twenty-one or twenty-two conson ...

Stop consonant - Nasalization. nasal stops are differentiated from oral stops only by a lowered velum that allows the air to escape through the nose during the occlusion. Nasal stops are acoustically sonorants, as they have a non-turbulent airflow and are nearly always voiced, but they are articulatorily obstruents, as there is complete blockage of the oral cavity. A prenasalized stop starts out with a lowered velum that raises during the occlusion. The closest examples in Engli ...

While Finnish orthography generally follows its phonology in a regular way, there are a number of noteworthy exceptions. Finnish phonology - Velar nasal. The velar nasal /ŋ/ (äng-äänne) does not have its own letter. A single velar nasal is written nk, as in kenkä /keŋkæ/, while the doubled velar nasal is written ng, as in kengän See also:

Finnish sandhi is extremely frequent, appearing between many words and morphemes, in formal standard language and in everyday spoken language. In most registers, it is never written down; only dialectal transcriptions preserve it, the rest settling for a morphemic notation. There are two processes. The first is simple assimilation with respect to place of articulation (e.g. np → mp). The second is predictive gemination o ...

All phonemes have distinctive length, except for /ʋ, d, j/. Some example sets of words: tuli = fire, tuuli = wind, tulli = customs muta = mud, muuta = other (partitive sg.), mutta = but A double 'hh' is rare, but possible, e.g. hihhuli "bigot".

Finnish, like other Finno-Ugric languages as well as Turkish, has a pattern called vowel harmony that restricts the distribution of vowels in a word. Due to vowel harmony, only certain vowels can appear in a given word, according to the vowel in the root of the word. The vowels i and e are considered neutral (they can appear anywhere), but the front vowels y, ö and ä never mix with the back vowels u, o, and a in a single word (except across compound limits). For example, tyttö "girl" is permissible it only has front vowels, but *tytto is impossible ...

Klingon is an agglutinative language, using mainly affixes in order to alter the function or meaning of words. Some nouns have inherently plural forms (jengva' plate vs ngop plates, for instance). Klingon nouns take suffixes to indicate grammatical number, gender, two levels of deixis, possession and syntactic function. In all, 29 noun suffixes from five classes may be employed: jupoypu'na'wI'vaD for my beloved true friends. Speakers are limited to no more than one suffix from each class to be added to a word, and the ...

The official Klingon writing system is the Latin alphabet as used above, but on the television series, the Klingons use their own alien writing system. In The Klingon Dictionary this alphabet is named as pIqaD, but no information is given about it. When Klingon symbols are used in Star Trek productions they are merely decorative graphic elements, designed to emulate real writing and create an appropriate atmosphere. The Astra Image Corporation designed the symbols (currently used to "write" Klingon) for Star Trek: The Mo ...

Cursing is considered to be a fine art among Klingons. That a person swears well is considered something of a compliment in Klingon culture. Some of the more common curse words include: petaQ—analogous to excrement. toDsaH—literally "idiot", i.e. analogous to "brainless" yIntagh—reportedly a native Klingon animal on Qon'oS; analogous to "vermin" taHqeq—a "situation confused by a toDsaH"; analogous roughly to "SNAFU".

In the articulation of the stop, three phases can be distinguished: Catch: The airway closes so that no air can escape through the mouth (hence the names stop). With nasal stops, the air escapes through the nose. Hold or occlusion: The airway stays closed, causing a pressure difference to build up (hence the name occlusive). Release or burst: The closure is opened. In the case of plosives, the released airflow produces a sudden impulse causing an a ...
