Difference between “ma” and “ba”

1.06K viewsBiologyOther

Can anyone tell me what’s the difference between what our mouth’s do when we make the “ma” and “ba” noises? I tried and I cannot find a single difference. They both seem like just separating the lips while pushing air out. I thought it might be that we just add more pressure to the lips on “ba” but that doesn’t seem like it. It might be a difference in pushing the air out. Idk I’m confused please help.

There’s a little door in the back of your mouth that swings open to let air go into your nose. When you say “b” the door is shut. When you say “m” the door is open. You might not be able to feel it in the back of your throat, but you can feel air coming out of your nose when you hold an “m” sound. Same with d and n!
