Research has shown that incidental learning positively impacts the acquisition of the /p/ sound for Arabic speakers and other EFL learners.{{Cite web |title=Impact of Watching Cartoons on Pronunciation of a Child in an EFL Setting: A Comparative Study with Problematic Sounds of EFL Learners – AWEJ |url=https://awej.org/impact-of-watching-cartoons-on-pronunciation-of-a-child-in-an-efl-setting-a-comparative-study-with-problematic-sounds-of-efl-learners/ |access-date=2024-05-30 |language=en-US}}{{Cite journal |last=Altakhaineh |first=Abdel Rahman Mitib |last2=Alsaraireh |first2=Mohammad Yousef |last3=Alhendi |first3=Hiba |date=2022-10-01 |title=The impact of incidental learning on the acquisition of the sound /p/ by Arabic-speaking EFL learners |url=https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/exell-2022-0010 |journal=ExELL |language=en |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=51–65 |doi=10.2478/exell-2022-0010}} This is particularly interesting given that the stop {{IPA|/p/}} is missing from about 10% of languages that have a {{IPA|/b/}}. (See voiced velar stop for another such gap.) This is an areal feature of the circum-Saharan zone (Africa north of the equator plus the Arabian Peninsula). It is not known how old this areal feature is, and whether it might be a recent phenomenon due to Arabic as a prestige language, or whether Arabic was itself affected by a more ancient areal pattern. It is found in other areas as well; for example, Fijian, Onge, and many Papuan languages have {{IPA|/b/}} but no {{IPA|/p/}}.

Nonetheless, the {{IPA|/p/}} sound is very common cross-linguistically. Most languages have at least a plain {{IPA|/p/}}, and some distinguish more than one variety. Many Indo-Aryan languages, such as Hindustani, have a two-way contrast between the aspirated {{IPA|/pʰ/}} and the plain {{IPA|/p/}} (also transcribed as {{IPA|[p˭]}} in extensions to the IPA).
