b [b]

Voiced Bilabial Stop

Dene Sųłiné, Lac Brochet

bare [bɑɾɛ] "sleeve"  -  Speaker: SP9

The stop b [b] in this token is not voiced. This kind of variation in the voicing of these sounds is not uncommon; see the example paired with g [g]. However, these sounds are commonly strongly voiced, and are thus represented in the IPA as voiced stops, to contrast them with completely voiceless stops in other Dene languages.
