Bilabial sounds are a narrower class of labial sounds that require the use of both lips. The bilabial sounds of English include [p, b, m]; the bilabial sounds of Gaelic are [p, pʰ, m], represented by the spellings <b, p, m>, respectively. The previous examples are all stops, but bilabial sounds can have other manners of articulation as well.
