Unlike the passive articulation, which is a continuum, there are five discrete active articulators: the lip ( labial consonants ), the flexible front of the tongue ( coronal consonants: laminal, apical, and subapical ), the middle – back of the tongue ( dorsal consonants ), the root of the tongue together with the epiglottis ( radical consonants ), and the larynx ( laryngeal consonants ).

In fact, the labial is the least stable of the voiceless stops in the languages of the world, as the unconditioned sound change → (→ → Ø ) is quite common in unrelated languages, having occurred in the history of Classical Japanese, Classical Arabic, and Proto-Celtic, for instance.

This distinction disappears with the approximant, since labialization involves adding of a labial approximant articulation to a sound, and this ambiguous situation is often called labiovelar.

A consonant may be placed between consonants in a consonant cluster where the place of articulation is different ( e. g., where one consonant is labial and the other is alveolar ).

The lips serve for creating different sounds-mainly the labial, bilabial, and labiodental consonant sounds-and thus create an important part of the speech apparatus.

The principal arterial blood-vessel supply to the nose is two-fold: ( i ) branches from the internal carotid artery, the branch of the anterior ethmoid artery, the branch of the posterior ethmoid artery, which derive from the ophthalmic artery ; ( ii ) branches from the external carotid artery, the sphenopalatine artery, the greater palatine artery, the superior labial artery, and the angular artery.

The phoneme system contains a large number of guttural ( velar or uvular ) consonants ( fronting in many modern Athabaskan languages to palatals and velars, correspondingly ) as well as a general absence of labial obstruents ( except where / b / has arisen from * w ).
