sample source help encoding entity decimal 108 736 unicode hex u 006c u 02e0 x sampa 5 or l_g or l_ image a voiced velarized or pharyngealized alveolar lateral approximant also known as dark l is a type of consonantal sound used in some languages it is an alveolar denti alveolar or dental lateral approximant with a secondary articulation of velarization or pharyngealization the regular symbols in the international phonetic alphabet that represent this sound are lˠ for a velarized lateral and lˤ for a pharyngealized lateral though the dedicated letter ɫ which covers both velarization and pharyngealization is perhaps more common the latter should not be confused with belted ɬ which represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative however some scholars use that symbol to represent the velarized alveolar lateral approximant anyway 60 though such usage is considered non standard if the sound is dental or denti alveolar one could use a dental diacritic to indicate so l̪ˠ l̪ˤ ɫ̪ velarization and pharyngealization are generally associated with more dental articulations of coronal consonants so dark l tends to be dental or denti alveolar clear non velarized l tends to be retracted to an alveolar position 61 the term dark l is often synonymous with hard l especially in slavic languages cf hard consonants features edit features of a dark l its manner of articulation is approximant which means it is produced by narrowing the vocal tract at the place of articulation but not enough to produce a turbulent airstream there are four specific place of articulation variants of ɫ dental which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the upper teeth denti alveolar which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge and the tip of the tongue behind upper teeth alveolar which means it is articulated with either the tip or more rarely 61 the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge termed respectively apical and laminal postalveolar which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge termed respectively apical and laminal it has a secondary articulation of velarization or pharyngealization meaning that the back or root of the tongue approaches the soft palate velum or the back of the throat respectively its phonation is voiced which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation it is an oral consonant which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose it is a lateral consonant which means it is produced by directing the airstream over the sides of the tongue rather than down the middle its airstream mechanism is pulmonic which means it is articulated by pushing air only with the intercostal muscles and abdominal
