A '''labial''' consonant is one whose articulation necessitates the involvement of the lips.

A labial consonant is one whose articulation necessitates the involvement of the lips. How exactly the lips move further distinguishes the class of labial sounds: the lips can be brought together to make bilabial sounds or they can interact with the upper teeth to make labiodental sounds. The labial sounds of English are [w, p, b, m, f, v]. There are similar labial sounds in Gaelic; these include [w, p, pʰ, m, f, v] represented by the spellings <bh/mh, b, p, m, f/ph, bh/mh>, respectively.
