Voiced velar lateral fricative

Consonantal sound represented by ⟨ʟ̝⟩ in IPA From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The voiced velar lateral fricative is a very rare consonantal sound that can be found in Archi, a Northeast Caucasian language of Dagestan, in which it is clearly a fricative, although further forward than velars in most languages, and might better be called prevelar.[1]

It occurs as an intervocalic allophone of /𝼄/ in Nii and perhaps some related Wahgi languages of New Guinea.[citation needed]

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that traditionally represents this sound is ʟ̝, though in extIPA 𝼄̬ is preferred. The two symbols are equivalent.
