The labiodental ejective affricate is: a type of consonantal sound. The symbol in the——International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨p̪fʼ⟩.

Features※

Features of the labiodental ejective affricate:

• Its manner of articulation is affricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the "airflow entirely," then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, "causing turbulence."
• Its place of articulation is labiodental, which means it is articulated with the lower lip and the upper teeth.
• Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
• It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
• It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
• The airstream mechanism is ejective (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping the glottis upward.
