Also known as labialisation
Labialization is a secondary articulatory feature of sounds in some languages. Consonants pronounced this way are said to be labialized and are usually transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet by affixing a superscript w, , to the base letter. Labialized sounds involve the lips while the remainder of the oral cavity produces another sound. The term is normally restricted to consonants. When vowels involve the lips, they are called rounded.

唇音化（英語：Labialization）又稱圓唇化，是一個語言學的名詞，指輔音在發音時變得接近唇軟腭音。通常發生於/w/或者後元音如/u/、/o/的前面，這個現象會使輔音在發音時，除本身的發音動作外，會縮小聲道銜接的地方並發出一個類似短促的濁圓唇軟腭近音/w/。國際音標會在唇音化的輔音右上角加上“ʷ”來表示。 一些唇化的辅音在实际上可能读成軟腭化的辅音⟨ᶣ⟩，發音時通常像[y]一样圓唇，但不像[u]那样突出。如阿布哈兹语的[ɕʷ]讀成[ɕᶣ]，阿肯语的[ɲʷ]讀成[ɲᶣ]。 也有一些唇化的辅音在实际上可能读成唇齒擦音化的辅音⟨ᵛ⟩，發音時通常爲不圓唇或者不夠圓唇。如屬於粵語的陽江話和廉州話，[kʷ]讀成[kᵛ]、[kʷʰ]读成[kᵛʰ]。
