Voiced velar plosive Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
g
The voiced velar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. Its manner of articulation is a voiced glottalic plosive or stop. Its place of articulation is velar. The symbol used by the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent this symbol is [g]. The [g] sound in English is spelled with the same letter 'g', as in gut or bag.
The [g] sound is a common sound cross-linguistically. Many languages have at least a plain [g], and some distinguish more than variety. Many Indian languages, such as Hindi, have a two-way contrast between aspirated (or breathy voice) and plain [g].
