Doubly articulated consonants are consonants with two simultaneous primary
places of articulation of the same
manner (both plosive, or both nasal, etc.). They are a subset of
co-articulated consonants. They are to be distinguished from co-articulated consonants with
secondary articulation, that is, a second articulation not of the same manner. An example of a doubly articulated consonant is the
voiceless labial-velar plosive , which is a and a pronounced simultaneously. On the other hand, the voiceless
labialized velar plosive has only a single stop articulation,
velar , with a simultaneous
approximant-like rounding of the lips. In some dialects of
Arabic, the
voiceless velar fricative has a simultaneous
uvular trill, but this is not considered double articulation either.
