Velar fricative
Type of fricative constant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A velar fricative is a fricative consonant produced at the velar place of articulation. It is possible to distinguish the following kinds of velar fricatives:
- Voiced velar fricative, a consonant sound written as ⟨ɣ⟩ in the International Phonetic Alphabet
- Voiceless velar fricative, a consonant sound written as ⟨x⟩ in the International Phonetic Alphabet
- Velar ejective fricative, a consonant sound written as ⟨xʼ⟩ in the International Phonetic Alphabet
These are not to be confused with velarized fricatives, like sˠ or xˠ, where the velarization is a form of secondary articulation.
