  Encyclopedia: Alveolar lateral approximant
Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
Laterals are L-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides of the tongue.

 Approximant consonant - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants.
Tibetan has a voiceless lateral approximant, [l̥], and Welsh has a voiceless lateral fricative [ɬ], but the distinction is not always clear from descriptions of these languages.
Occasionally the glottal "fricatives" are called approximants as well, but they are actually phonations of the glottis without any accompanying manner or place of articulation.

 Alveolar consonant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.
However, it is the rearmost point of contact that defines the place of articulation; this is where the oral cavity ends, and it is the resonant space of the oral cavity that gives consonants and vowels their characteristic timbre.

 math lessons - Lateral consonant
One, found before vowels as in lady or fly, is called clear l, pronounced as the alveolar lateral approximant [l] with a "neutral" position of the body of the tongue.
The other variant, so-called dark l found before consonants word-finally as in bold or tell, is pronounced as the velarized alveolar lateral approximant [ɫ] with the tongue assuming a spoon-like shape and its back part raised, which gives the sound an [w]-like resonance.
Rarer lateral consonants include the sound of Welsh ll, which is the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative [ɬ;], and the retroflex laterals as can be found in most Hindustani languages.

This class of sounds includes lateral approximants like [l], as in lip, and approximants like [j] and [w] in yes and well which correspond closely to vowels and semivowels.
When emphasized, approximants may be slightly fricated (that is, the airstream may become slightly turbulent), which is reminiscent of fricatives.
Occasionally the glottal "fricatives" are called approximants, since [h] typically has no more frication than voiceless approximants, but they are often phonations of the glottis without any accompanying manner or place of articulation.

Klingon D can best be approximated by English­speakers by touching the tip of the tongue to the roof of the mouth at a point about halfway between the teeth and the velum (or soft palate), that part of the roof of the mouth that is rather gooshy.
Relating to the alveolar ridge, the bony ridge behind the upper teeth.
The hard palate is the bony central region of the roof the mouth; the soft palate or velum is the soft flap of tissue between it and the uvula.

 How do you pronounce your L's? | Antimoon Forum
alveolar l (clear l): the tip of the tongue touches the alveolar ridge behind the teeth, but the back of the tongue isn't raised towards the velum.
A "clear l" is just [l], that is, a voiced alveolar lateral approximant, a "dark l" is [5], that is, a voiced velarized alveolar lateral approximant, and a "vocalized l" is just [w], that is, a voiced labiovelar approximant.
Mind you that I don't think that alveolar ridge is necessarily directly touched, even though it may be, in [5], but I think that the velum /is/ touched, or at least gotten close to.

The symbol ɬ is called "belted l" and should not be confused with "l with tilde", [ɫ], which corresponds to a different sound, the velarized alveolar lateral approximant.
It should also be distinguished from a voiceless alveolar lateral approximant, although either are often described as a "voiceless l".
Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.

cluster where the second consonant is a voiced approximant.
In the articulation of approximants, articulatory organs produce a narrowing of the vocal tract, but leave enough space for air to flow without audible turbulence — approximants are therefore more open than fricatives.

 Velarized alveolar lateral approximant - Definition, explanation
{{Infobox IPA baseipa-text=&#{};ipa-image={}ipa-entity=&#{};xsampa={}kirshenbaum={}sound={}}} The velarized alveolar lateral approximant (also called dark l) is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
It is also velarized, meaning the back of the tongue is raised toward the soft palate, or velum.
The sound denoted by the letter 'l' in lip or please, however, is a different sound, the non-velarized or "plain" alveolar lateral approximant.

 L   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The lateral alveolar approximant occurs before a vowel, as in LIP or PLEASE, while the velarized lateral alveolar approximant occurs in BELL and MILK.
This velarization does not occur in many European languages that use L, and is also a factor making L difficult to pronounce for users of languages such as Japanese or Chinese that either lack or have different values for L. L can occur before almost any plosive, fricative, or affricate in English.
Common digraphs include LL, which has a value identical to L in English but has the separate value voiceless alveolar lateral fricative in Welsh, where it can appear in an initial position.
