Studies of the phonetics of labial-velar stops are few, and have for the most part been based on one or two speakers. In an attempt to fill this gap, this paper examines the labial-velar stops of five Nigerian languages (Ibibio, Igbo, Kalabari, Kana, and Obolo). Multiple speakers are used for one of these (Ibibio), and a variety of instrumental techniques are employed. Some discussion of the implictions of the phonetic structure of these stops for their phonological characterization is offered along with consideration of their diachronic behaviour. The phonetic characteristics reported suggest the need for a reconsideration of how these stops are represented in current phonological theory, and also allow insight into their historical developments. By the same token, hypotheses as to the diachronic appearance of labial-velars suggest an understanding as to why they exhibit their particular characteristics.
