For me (german native speaker, also trainee voice actor), f has my upper teeth on my lower lips while still leaving a gap to the upper lips.

Tho, indeed, if you count a few percent on the sides, it could be counted.

I wouldn't count it; but I see how one could do it

I feel like W shouldn't count since it's basically just borrowing from B though.

Its 5

I counted and my lips touch on B, F, M, P, W,

Edit: it's actually 6 since Lips briefly touch for V

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I'm sure accent and dialect (within English) matter a lot.

For F my lips come close but blow out before touching. For V they come close but it's my top teeth that touch my lip.

W is because you say the name of the letter. If you were to produce the sound that the W is associated with, you won't touch lips.

And I agree with the others, F and V are the lower lip meeting the upper teeth.

Now I'm questioning why M has two syllables.
