  Voiceless velar plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (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 manner of articulation is plosive or stop, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
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).

 Encyclopedia: Voiced velar plosive
The voiced velar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Of the six plosives that would be expected from the most common pattern world-wide, that is, three places of articulation plus voicing ([p b, t d, k É¡]), [p] and [É¡] are the most frequently missing, being absent in about 10% of languages that otherwise have this pattern.
The voiceless palatal-velar fricative (also voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative, voiceless postalveolar and velar fricative, voiceless coarticulated velar and palatoalveolar fricative) is a term used for a range of similar sounds used in most dialects of Swedish to realize the phoneme.

 Voiceless postalveolar affricate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The voiceless palato-alveolar fricative or domed postalveolar affricate is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages.
Historically, this sound often derives from a former voiceless velar plosive (k, as in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Romance languages), or a voiceless dental plosive (t, as in Japanese) by way of palatalization, especially next to a front vowel.
An aspirated and slightly labialized voiceless palato-alveolar affricate occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the digraph ch in chip.

A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
The term plosive is reserved for oral (non-nasal) stops: that is, stops with a release burst.
Initial voiceless plosives, like the p in pie, are aspirated, with a palpable puff of air upon release, while a plosive after an s, as in spy, is tenuis.

They may be plosives, fricatives, nasal stops, trills, or approximants, though the IPA does not provide a separate symbol for the approximant, and the symbol for the voiced fricative is used instead.
It is pronounced somewhat like the voiceless velar plosive [k], but with the middle of the tongue further back, against the uvula rather than the velum.

 Velar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Palatalised velars (like English /k/ in keen or cube) are sometimes referred to as palatovelars.
Many languages also have labialized velars, such as [kʷ], in which the articulation is accompanied by rounding of the lips.

 LABIAL-VELAR CONSONANT FACTS AND INFORMATION
Labial-velar consonants are doubly articulated at the velum and the lips.
The voiceless approximant is officially called a "voiceless labial-velar fricative", but true doubly articulated fricatives are not known to be used in any language, as they are quite difficult to pronounce and even more to aurally distinguish.
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.

 Co-articulated consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
They may be divided into two classes, doubly articulated consonants with two primary places of articulation of the same manner (both plosive, or both nasal, etc.), and consonants with secondary articulation, that is, a second articulation not of the same manner.
An example of a doubly articulated consonant is the voiceless labial-velar plosive [k͡p], which is pronounced simulateously at the velum (a [k]) and at the lips (a [p]).
On the other hand, the voiceless labialized velar plosive [kʷ] has only a single stop articulation, velar [k], with a simultaneous approximant-like rounding of the lips.

Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally only used in languages where these sounds are not analyzed into sequences of plosive and nasal stop.
There are a series of stops in Korean, sometimes written with the IPA symbol for ejectives, which are produced using "", meaning there is increased contraction of the glottis than for normal production of voiceless stops.
Here are some of the oral stops (plosives) and their symbols in the IPA.) See also the nasal stops.

The voiceless uvular plosive is expressed as /q/ in most transliteration schemes, including the IPA and SAMPA, and is pronounced similarly to the voiceless velar plosive /k/, but with the middle of one's tongue against the soft uvula rather than the velum.
It sounds like the voiced velar plosive /g/ articulated in the same uvular position as /q/.
It sounds similar to the voiceless velar fricative /x/ (spelled in Peninsular Spanish, in German or Scots, <х> in Russian, and <χ> in Greek), except that it is articulated on the uvula.

 Central consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A central or medial consonant is a consonant sound that is produced when air flows across the center of the mouth over the tongue.
Examples of central consonants are the voiceless velar plosive (the "k" in the English word "skin"), the voiced alveolar fricative (the "z" in the English word "zoo") and the alveolar nasal (the "n" in the English word "plan").
A consonant in which air flows along the sides of the tongue rather than over its center is a lateral consonant.

 Voiced velar plosive - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Of the six plosives that would be expected from the most common pattern world-wide, that is, three places of articulation plus voicing ([p b, t d, k g]), [p] and [g] are the most frequently missing, being absent in about 10% of languages that otherwise have this pattern.
This could have two effects: [g] and [k] become confused, and the distinction is lost, or [g] is never developed in the first place when a language starts making voicing distinctions.
When preceded by 'n' and occurring at the end of a morpheme, it often becomes the digraph 'ng', which denotes the velar nasal, as in singer and rung, but not finger.
