Velar
Velar or velar sound (German also Gaumensegellaut or back palate sound ) is the name in phonetics for a sound that is formed by the back of the tongue
- the soft palate , the soft palate , a complete closure forms (letters ⟨ k ⟩, ⟨ ck ⟩, ⟨ g ⟩ = in IPA -Schrift [k] or [ɡ]),
- to the soft palate only strong approaches (combination of letters ⟨ ch ⟩ = IPA font [x]).
The formation of vowels is also marked according to the highest point on the back of the tongue and the direction in which it is oriented.
The "i", in which the back of the tongue approaches the palatum (the hard, anterior palate ), is called a palatal vowel, while the "u", in which the back of the tongue approaches the velum, is called a velar vowel .
In older representations there is also the wrong designation of guttural sound according to today's agreement .
