Voiced velar lateral fricative explained
| Above: | Voiced velar lateral fricative |
| Ipa Symbol: | ʟ̝ |

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 pronounced as //// in Nii and perhaps some related Wahgi languages of New Guinea.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that traditionally represents this sound is (IPA|ʟ̝), though in extIPA (IPA|̬) is preferred. The two symbols are equivalent.
