This page provides sample spectrograms and audio clips for the consonants found in Serer.
Plosives
Labial
The following labial plosives all appear in word-initial position:
- ᵐb
- p
- ɓ
(Note the disruption in the voicing immediately after the release.)
- ƥ
(Note the distortion in the voicing immediately after the release. While this disruption is less pronounced than that of /ɓ/, it is more noticeable when compared to the lack of disruption or distortion in /p/.)
Alveolar
Intensity plots are shown in yellow in this section. (These can be useful for distinguishing between the implosives and the non-implosives.) Note that some images show more of a spectrogram than others: some stop closures are much longer than others, especially the prenasalized and voiced implosive stops.
