voiced labial–velar approximant

Features of the voiced labial–velar approximant:

{{approximant}} The type of approximant is glide or semivowel. The term glide emphasizes the characteristic of movement (or 'glide') of {{IPA|/w/}} from the {{IPA|/u/}} vowel position to a following vowel position. The term semivowel emphasizes that, although the sound is vocalic in nature, it is not 'syllabic' (it does not form the nucleus of a syllable).

{{labiovelar}} Some languages, such as Japanese and perhaps the Northern Iroquoian languages, have a sound typically transcribed as {{IPA|[w]}} where the lips are compressed (or at least not rounded), which is a true labial–velar (as opposed to labialized velar) consonant. Close transcriptions may avoid the symbol {{IPA|[w]}} in such cases, or may use the under-rounding diacritic, {{IPA|[w̜]}}.
