Talk:Voiced bilabial trill

message: Among English speakers in my area, it has several non-linguistic uses (to express cold, to imitate a motorboat, etc.).  Across the world, I would guess that it's used more often extralinguistically than as a real phonological speech sound, so it would be good to mention such uses...

message: I was under the impression that an affricate would have to have a homorganic release (Otherwise  could be considered an affricate and it's not); also, I don't think we need to have a separate page for every possible or occurring affricate.  The alveolar and postalveolar ones are exceptions because they're so common.  If the dbta is notable in its rarity, it can certainly be mentioned with examples in the bilabial trill article.

replies: text: I think it's considered an affricate because there is no bilabial trill in the language, so it can't be a sequence like ks. I'm neutral as to the merger. kwami 06:12, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This might be a stupid question, but aren't there both voiceless and voiced versions of the bilabial trill, which correspond to trilling p/b respectively? This distinction is mentioned in the Mangbettu article in the language section. Marbles1136 (talk) 01:13, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Marbles1136 - Yes, and there could be three articles: Bilabial trill, Voiced bilabial trill and Voiceless bilabial trill. 80.134.90.212 (talk) 19:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean two, not three. On Wikipedia, articles about voiced trills don't have the word "voiced" in their titles. Peter238 (talk) 19:16, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, they should.  Or if this one is an “exception to the rule,” it should be made consistent.  But I don’t consider that a sensible rule. 伟思礼 (talk) 17:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voiceless/Voiced distinction? 

message: Seems odd to have a table listing occurrences followed by prose for the ones not in the table.  But I don’t have enough information to fix it. 伟思礼 (talk) 17:06, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

message: See Sardinian language#Dialects. Is Sardinian bb (historically from [kʷ]) really ever pronounced as a trill consonant? I've never heard of that, but considering that dd is also pronounced quite differently from what you would expect from the spelling (certainly not a retroflex), and that this article implies that something like [(m)bʷ] is a historical source for [ʙ], I hesitate to call bullshit on it – I might have missed the memo. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 21:34, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's almost certainly not a trill, or Sardinian would be the prototypical example of a bilabial trill.  Maybe a translation error, or the editor simply doesn't know what a "trill" is.  — kwami (talk) 03:50, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I don't believe Komi-Permyak has a bilabial trill in said word. I find no evidence for it in the far more heavily sourced Komi-Permyak page; there's no mention of it as a allophone of p, b, or v, and the current example has no source. If there is a source, I would like to see it, but I, again, find it extremely unlikely that it would appear without any major mention elsewhere.

replies: text: It is sourced, in the language column. The source dates to work from 1901 though, so it may be well the case that modern Komi no longer has this word (though I'd expect that at least the widespread "paralinguistic" particle /ʙuː/ 'stop (to a horse)' is still found). --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 14:39, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

message: There really ought to be some effort to bring together articles that sure look (to a layman at least) to be overlapping, if only for some sort of compare/contrast. Specifically, the poorly titled Blowing a raspberry, which at minimum has the good grace to refer back to bilabial trill, and really ought to link back more clearly to flatulence humor.
