    That’s wrong! There are only three bilabial letters! P, M, and B. F and V are labiodental

        That’s labial velar approximate. We don’t say “bwatermelon” just because the letter is pronounced with a B

          You’re right about how you would refer to each sound in use but the meme doesn’t say that there are 4 bilabials

          They do in American English at least

          edit: I realize now you’re talking about its use within words, but a lot of us here assume that the meme is referring to saying each letter individually.

        These indicate place of articulation of the sound that come out of your mouth. It’s one of 3 main ways to categorize consonants in linguistics, or more precisely in phonetics.

        Bilabial consonants are made when both lips are touching for example, while labiodental consonants are made when lower lips are touching upper teeth.
