| Ipa Symbol: | ŋ̊ |
The voiceless velar nasal is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is (IPA|ŋ̊), a combination of the letter for the voiced velar nasal and a diacritic indicating voicelessness. (For reasons of legibility, the ring is usually placed above the letter, rather than regular (IPA|ŋ̥)). The equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is N_0.
