Notes:

  1. Template:IPA is an allophone of /m/ that occurs before /v/ and /f/.
  2. The stops (the plosives and the nasal Template:IPA) are not confirmed to exist as separate phonemes in any language.

The plosives are sometimes written as ȹ ȸ (qp and db monograms). Some languages, such as XiNkuna Tsonga, have true labiodental affricates, Template:IPA (that is, [ȹf] and [ȸv]), as opposed to the bilabial-labiodental affricate Template:IPA of German.Template:Fact
