Voiced velar lateral approximant

A voiced velar lateral approximant is a type of consonantal sound, used as a distinct consonant in a very small number of spoken languages in the world. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that has represented this sound since 1989 is ⟨ʟ⟩, a small capital letter l.

Features
Features of a voiced velar lateral approximant: A velar lateral involves no contact of the tip of the tongue with the roof of the mouth: just like for a velar stop , the only contact takes place between the back of the tongue and the velum. This contrasts with a velarized alveolar lateral approximant – also known as the dark l in English feel – for which the apex touches the alveolar ridge. ==Occurrence==
