	Labial-velar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Labial-velar consonants are doubly articulated at the velum and the lips.
		Truly doubly articulated labial-velars occur as plosives and nasal stops in the majority of languages in West and Central Africa, and are relatively common in the eastern end of New Guinea.
		Note that while 90% of the occlusion overlaps, the onset of the velar occurs slightly before that of the labial, and the release of the labial occurs slightly after that of the velar, so that the preceding vowel sounds like it's followed by a velar, while the following vowel sounds like it's following a labial.

	Voiceless velar plosive - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The voiceless velar plosive occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter 'c' in cat or the letter 'k' in skin.
		Its place of articulation is velar which means it is articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the velum).
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.

	Velar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth, known also as the velum).
		Since the velar region of the roof of the mouth is relatively extensive and the movements of the dorsum are not very precise, velars easily undergo assimilation, shifting their articulation back or to the front depending on the quality of adjacent vowels.
		There are also labial-velar consonants, which are doubly articulated at the velum and at the lips, such as [k͡p].

		In the cases of vowel pairs the first vowel is a spread vowel, where the corners of the mouth are held far apart, and the second is a rounded vowel, where the lips are held in an "o" shape.
		With consonant pairs, the first is unvoiced (no vocal cord vibration), the second is voiced, said exactly the same way, but with the vocal cords vibrating.
		Bilabial Consonant, where the sound is produced by the motion of the lips.

	Table 2: Phonological Processes - Caroline Bowen
		A velar consonant, that is a sound that is normally made with the middle of the tongue in contact with the palate towards the back of the mouth, is replaced with consonant produced at the front of the mouth.
		The fricative consonants 'sh' and 'zh' are replaced by fricatives that are made further forward on the palate, towards the front teeth.
		A fricative consonant (/f/ /v/ /s/ /z/, 'sh', 'zh', 'th' or /h/), or an affricate consonant ('ch' or /j/) is replaced by a stop consonant (/p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ or /g/).

	Dialect Features
		In all dialects when /wh/ is followed by a velar consonant (k, g, k', kh or gh), the wh becomes h and the velar consonant becomes rounded (kw, gw, kw', khw or ghw).
		In other dialects, if the consonant is non-coronal, no prefix is overtly realized, but if the consonant is velar, it becomes labialized.
		This may be regarded as absorption of the rounding of the oo by the following consonant, with null realization in the case of labials and overt realization in the case of velars.

	Quenya Spelling \| David Salo
		The number of possible final consonants is even more limited: only t, r, s, l, and n occur finally and then they always follow a vowel, alone, never being double or part of a cluster.
		The importance of consonant clusters and final consonants is this: the usual structure of a Quenya word is a series of open syllables: C[onsonant]V[owel]CVCVCV....
		Quenya spelling also significantly reduces the number of consonant sequences that raise the question "Is there a vowel between these two consonants or not?" The most obvious way in which it does this is by writing the consonant sequence with a single tengwa.

		Consonants include plosives p, t, c and b, d, g and fricatives f, þ, s and h.
		Laterals l ja r are very common as are nasals m and n of which n becomes velar before a velar consonant.
		Allowed consonant clusters at the beginning of a word are pr, tr, cr, dr and gr.

		Formed by as plosive consonants, but with slower separation of the articulating organs, so thatthe corresponding fricative is audible as the separation takes place.
		Consonants which can be held on continuously without change of quality are sometimes classed together as contunatives or continuantsl they include nasal, lateral, rolled, fricative consonants and frictionless sounds.

		Historically, it had 28 letters -- 3 consonants and 1 vowel more -- but as these sounds are not present in modern Korean, the letters are not used anymore.
		The designs of the basic jamo consonant letters model the physical morphology of the tongue, palate, teeth and throat.
		The consonants can be divided into five groups, each with a basic shape, and one or more derived basic forms with additional strokes.

	Describing consonants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Which consonant you're pronouncing depends on where in the vocal tract the constriction is and how narrow it is. It also depends on a few other things, such as whether the vocal folds are vibrating and whether air is flowing through the nose.
		In a velar consonant, the body of the tongue approaches or touches the soft palate, or velum.
		It is often useful to display the consonants of a language in the form of a chart.

	kui
		However, when the stem ends in a velar stop, the suffix-initial labial stop occurs to the left of the stem-final consonant.
		A similar situation holds in the fourth conjugation, although in this instance the stem-final consonant involved in metathesis is [g], while the prefixal consonant surfaces as [b].
		In that study, the salience of consonant place in the context VCCV suggests that positioning a dorsal stop consonant in prevocalic position, even when unstressed as is the case in Kui, provides a greater boost in perceptibility than it does for a labial stop consonant (see Hume 2001 for additional discussion).

		If you considered only the data in Table (1), a generalization you might make is that AAVE has no velar nasal consonant, and that it always uses an alveolar nasal instead.
		Clearly these words are pronounced with a velar nasal, so it's false to say that this sound cannot be pronounced by AAVE speakers.
		If your answer to Question 2 was 'no', then there must be some other reason why velar nasals are not found in the words in Table (1), but are in the words in Tables (2) and (3).

		Irish has a robust phonemic distinction between palatalized and velarized plosives and fricatives, and to a lesser extent, other manners of articulation as well.
		Following postalveolar and palatal consonants (which, from a phonological point of view, form a 'palatal' series), /ɨ/ and /ə/ are often fronted to [ɪ] and [ɛ].
		In Turkish, palatal and velar plosives are in complementary distribution within native Turkish words, with palatals occurring in syllables with front vowels and velars occurring in syllables with back vowels (Zimmer and Orgun p.

	The Details of Modern Greek Phonetics and Phonology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The notion of palatalization refers to the change of four consonants, [k], [γ], [x], and [g], from the velar column of this table to the preceding palatal one, if the vowel that follows is either [i] or [ε].
		That is, phonologically (in the Greek native speaker's mind) there is an unpalatalized consonant, an [i], and a vowel; phonetically, however (in actual sounds, as recorded and shown in a spectrogram) there is a palatalized consonant, the faintest idea of an [i], and a vowel.
		As can be inferred from the previous examples on voiced and unvoiced consonants, the phenomenon of palatalization (whether regular or forced) in Greek is very common because several morphological changes of nouns denoting plural, genitive case, or simply nominative case in the feminine gender, are such that they imply palatalization.

		The palatalized velar consonants often move forward to become pure palatal consonants: /k_j/ and /g_j/ front to [c] and [J\], and /x_j/ and /G_j/ front to [ç] and [j\].
		The plural is formed by palatalizing the last consonant of the root, unless the final consonant has no palatalized form, in which case -e is added.
		This is because the original dative plural ending for all declensions, -e, merged with the palatalized consonant* in Declension II nouns.

		For example, consonants adjacent to rounded vowels may be rounded through coarticulation with the lip posture of that sound.
		In English the consonant [l] is usually pronounced with palatalisation when it precedes a vowel at the beginning of a syllable (this is generally referred to as the "clear l").
		Only simultaneous velarisation is possible for sounds with lingual primary articulations as velarisation involves an adjustment of the entire tongue body.

		A velar stop /k/ metathesizes with an adjacent coronal fricative /s/ just in case it is followed by another stop consonant.
		There are no words with /s/ adjacent to a stop other than velar in the relevant context for metathesis so it is not possible to test whether the process occurs with all stops or just the velar.
		A medial stop consonant is preserved in a triconsonantal cluster when followed by a non-stop, both in monomorphemic and polymorphemic forms, e.g.

		Therefore, we can say that the velar nasal in AAVE is also morphologically conditioned: it can only occur in certain grammatical categories (i.e., parts of speech) of words.
		Thus, it is not the case that AAVE speakers cannot produce velar nasals; instead, the velar nasal does not always occur in the same contexts as it can in Standard English.
		Another way of expressing this is to claim that AAVE speakers cannot produce velar nasals because their ethnicity or physiology makes it impossible for them to do so.
