The voiceless velar lateral fricative is a very rare speech sound. As one element of an affricate, it is found for example in Zulu and Xhosa (see velar lateral ejective affricate). However, a simple fricative has only been reported from a few languages in the Caucasus and New Guinea. Archi, a Northeast Caucasian language of Dagestan, has four voiceless velar lateral fricatives: plain , labialized , fortis , and labialized fortis . Although clearly fricatives, these are further forward than velars in most languages, and might better be called ''prevelar''. Archi also has a voiced fricative, as well as a voiceless and several ejective lateral velar affricates, but no alveolar lateral fricatives or affricates.〔(the Archi language tutorial )〕 In New Guinea, some of the Chimbu–Wahgi languages such as Melpa, Middle Wahgi, and Nii, have a voiceless velar lateral fricative, which they write with a double-bar el ((unicode:Ⱡ, ⱡ)). This sound also appears in syllable coda position as an allophone of the voiced velar lateral fricative in Kuman.〔Steed, W., & Hardie, P. (2004). Acoustic Properties of the Kuman Voiceless Velar Lateral Fricative. ''Proceedings of the 10th Australian International Conference on Speech Science & Technology'', Sydney. ()〕 The IPA has no separate symbol for these sounds, but they can be transcribed as a devoiced raised velar lateral approximant, (here the devoicing ring diacritic is placed above the letter to avoid clashing with the raising diacritic). By analogy with existing IPA laterals, a small capital (unicode:Ɬ) is used in the extIPA: SIL International has added these symbols to the Private Use Areas of their Gentium, Charis and Doulos fonts, at U+F268 (). ==Features== Features of the voiceless velar lateral fricative: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「voiceless velar lateral fricative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
