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
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  • p
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  • ɓ
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

(Note the disruption in the voicing immediately after the release.)

  • ƥ
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

(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.
