 | | One, found before vowels as in ''lady'' or ''fly'', is called ''clear l'', pronounced as the alveolar lateral approximant {{IPA[l]}} with a "neutral" position of the body of the tongue. |
 | | The Italian ''gli'' and Spanish ''ll'' (in some accents) are the palatal lateral approximant {{IPA[ʎ]}}, which is present as well in these languages: Catalan ''ll'', French ''ill-'' (in some dialects), Portuguese ''lh'', Quechua ''ll''. |
 | | Rarer lateral consonants include the sound of Welsh ''ll'', which is the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative {{IPA[ɬ]}}, and the retroflex laterals as can be found in most Hindustani languages. |
