Xiahe dialect, which belongs to Tibetan Amdo dialect, is a typical language without tones. In its phoneme system,there exists consonant clusters. With the object of the consonant clusters that end with /w/ in Xiahe dialect, this paper aims at systematically analyzing the labial positions of these syllables. With the help of the combination of MATLAB, Audition and VirtualDub software, the author analyzes the videos (avi format). So the conclusions drawn from the study have great significance for the preservation of consonant clusters as well as the construction of the labial positions in Xiahe dialect.
