In English we have a few different ways to write the sound of a kiss: muah, smack, xxx. They get the idea across, but none of them imitate the actual sound of a kiss. Other languages have the same problem. In Thai it's chup, in German, schmatz, in Greek, mats-muts, in Malayalam, umma, in Japanese, chu. There are two common elements in kiss words across languages. First, a kiss word will usually have a sound made by pressing the lips together (m, p, b), which approximates the lip pursing of a real kiss. In addition, or instead, it may have a sharp, "noisy" sound (ch, ts, k) that approximates the air intake "click" of a real kiss.

What's needed for a true kiss sound is a way to represent the smacking sound caused by the intake of air through closed lips. And linguistics has one! The kiss sound is technically a bilabial lingual ingressive click. "Bilabial" because of the lips, "lingual ingressive" because the air intake is caused by a pressure drop in the mouth caused by action of the tongue (in other words, sucking) and "click" for the pop of release from the pressure change. There are languages in the Tuu and Kx'a language families of Southern Africa that use this sound. So the International Phonetic Alphabet, the standard for representing the sounds of the world's spoken languages, has a symbol for it. This is how you write a bilabial click:

It is also said in English when someone, usually a lady, greats someone with a kiss on the cheek - the lips never actually touch anything and no kiss sound is heard but the word "muah" is said instead. It is an "air kiss".

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have posed this question twice, and realize that you don't want to answer. Would you mind telling me why women and children loudly say "mwah" when they kiss a person on the cheek? It is only done in this country and is a relatively new custom.

Cheek kissing itself, as an ordinary greeting, is relatively new in the United States, and not limited to males. If anything, they do less, as they tend not to kiss one another. And the rule, which nobody remembers, is that ladies are supposed to initiate the form of greeting, so it is their choice.

Back to the soundtrack: As this sound is made with the mouth open, it cannot be managed while the lips are planted on a cheek. Therefore, it goes with the so-called air-kiss, delivered just beside the face, rather than on it. To Miss Manners' mind, that is a good substitute for the touch-kiss that not everyone welcomes from acquaintances.

Cheek kissing, or social kissing, is the kind of thing that tests your cultural skills. In practical terms, and in Portugal at least, social kissing has several layers, nuances, and connotations. In Portugal, as in other countries, social kissing is something quite common, although there have been recent changes (more on that later). 17dc91bb1f
