In Wu Chinese, in addition to the usual Chinese aspirated and unaspirated
voiceless initial stops, there are actual voiced "aspirated" initial stops
with murmur. They are always accompanied (I think) by low tone, which
can be realized as creak. (Not all low-tone syllables have voiced stops,
though.)
