Velar

Behind your hard palate you have the velum or soft palate. Unlike the bony hard palate in front of it, the

English has the following velar consonants:

// as in "going" and "uncle" (note that the 'n sound' in these words is NOT made at the alveolar

/k/ as in "kite" and "back"

/g/ as in "good" and "bug"

/w/ as in "wet" and "howard"

Velar are consonants made by placing the back part of the tongue near or
against the back part of the mouth -the soft palate. There are 3 velar sounds. They are
/k, g, /.
Velar: articulated with the body of the tongue touches the soft palate, or
velum. In English /k/, //, and // are stops. Examples for velar consonants: ..

velar consonant a consonant produced with the back of the tongue touching
or near the soft palate

1. /k/ (the phoneme spelled c in cap): voiceless velar stop.

2. /g/ (the phoneme spelled g in gap): voiced velar stop.
Velars are consonants for which the flow of air is stopped
or impeded by creating a block or a small aperture
between the tongue and the velum ("soft palate").
Velars may be voiced (vocal cords vibrating during the
articulation of the consonant) or voiceless (vocal cords not
vibrating during the articulation of the consonant).

Stops are those consonants in which there is a complete obstruction of the airstream.
Examples: t, d, k, g, p, b
When you pronounce these sounds, you cant continue them. You can only make the one
sound, but cannot prolong it.

Nasals are the sounds produced when air passes through the nasal cavity. Examples: m, n,
and the last consonant sound in the word sing.

Velar sounds are created by stopping the airstream by bringing the back of
the tongue into contact with the velum:
