Difference between “ma” and “ba”

1.07K 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.

When you say “ma” a little bit of air goes through your nose and that changes the sound a little bit. It’s called a nasal consonant.
