 LINGUIST List 5.219: Labiodental nasals
By the way, in reference to the Geoff Pullum quote that presupposes that the IPA shouldn't have symbols for sounds that are allophonic in all languages...
re 5.175 labiodental nasals In response to queries about labiodental stops and nasals, here are some paragraphs from a forthcoming book (we hope, soon) Sounds of the World"s languages, Peter Ladefoged and Ian Maddieson.
In the UPSID data base (presented in the now-out-of-print book PATTERNS OF SOUND by Ian Maddieson at UCLA), there is one language listed as having a PHONEMIC labiodental nasal: Teke.

 Nasal consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the case of some Niger-Congo languages, for example, nasal consonants only occur before nasal vowels.
For the purposes of acoustic description they are generally considered sonorants, but in many languages they may develop from or into plosives.
When a language is claimed to lack nasal consonants altogether, as with several Niger-Congo languages, or the Pirahã language of the Amazon, nasal and non-nasal consonants usually alternate allophonically, and it is a theoretical claim on the part of the individual linguist that the nasal version is not the basic form of the consonant.

 The International Phonetic Alphabet
Present participles ending in ‘ng’ are pronounced with a plain velar nasal, as is (consequently) the word “singer”, whereas in the words “finger” or “English”, the ‘ng” combination is a velar nasal followed by a velar plosive.
I have represented the labiodental approximant by ‘v’ because it seems much more appropriate than the proposed ‘r’ for a language such as Hindi (of course, different symbols can be used for different languages, even, in strict phonetic transcription, when they represent the same sound).
alveolar nasal before a velar plosive; sometimes it replaces both segments in one: so it is often written ‘ng’.

 LINGUIST List 5.175: Nasals
I had so many responses to my query about (firstly uvular nasals and then) labiodental nasals, that I figure it's easier to post a summary than reply to all individually.
I was trying to find a sample word from a language that has a phonemic labiodental nasal, ideally one that occurred say intervocalically and maybe even in contrast with bilabials or dentals.
Geoff Pullum informed me that "Althought the IPA created a special symbol just in case, it is common knowledge among phoneticians that this was a policy mistake.

Many thanks to the people who answered my previous query for sample words with uvular nasals and voiced stops.
Reply directly to me, and I'll summarize for LINGUIST.
Can anyone tell me a word containing a labiodental nasal, its meaning, and the name of the language?

 Labiodental nasal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The labiodental nasal has not been confirmed to exist as a separate phoneme in any language.
The labiodental nasal is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.

 Labiodental - KutjaraWiki
There is a symbol for the labiodental nasal, but this occurs much more frequently as an allophone than as a phoneme.
Most other labiodental sounds are so rare that they have no separate symbols in the IPA, and are written with the symbol for the corresponding bilabial with a dental diacritic.
By far the most common labiodental sounds in natlangs are the labiodental fricatives.

Occlusion occurs in the mouth only; the nasal resonance is continuous.
Voiceless nasals exists but they and their symbols are not included below.
The nasal “occlusives” of the vast majority of the world's languages are voiced.

> > Before nasals the nasal itself is reduplicated and > then followed by the vowel /i/.
Before laterals the > retroflex nasal /n'/ is used.
I must say that this rule is not bizarre at all; nasals tend to assimilate to the POA of the following consonant, and epenthetic vowels in order to break up same-consonant clusters aren't uncommon either.

 Encyclopedia4U - Labial consonant - Encyclopedia Article
Bilabial fricatives are less common but do occur in many languages; for example, the Spanish consonant spelt b or v is pronounced as a voiced bilabial fricative [B] between vowels.
English [m] is a bilabial nasal; [p] and [b] are bilabial stops; [f] and [v] are labiodental fricatives.
Labials are consonants articulated with both lips (bilabial articulation) or with the lower lip and the upper teeth (labiodental articulation).
