For the English speaker, a notable feature of the Hindi/Urdu consonants is that there is a four-way distinction of phonation among plosives, rather than the two-way distinction found in English. The phonations are: tenuis, as /p/, which is like ‹p› in English spin voiced, as /b/, which is like ‹b› in English bin aspirated, as /pʰ/, which is like ‹p› in English pin, and murmured, as /bʱ/.
