Voiced palatal lateral nasal

The voiced palatal lateral nasal is a rough type of consonant sound. It is not in English.

• The phonation is voiced. This means that the vocal cords vibrate while the sound is being pronounced.
• It is a nasal consonant. This means that air is allowed to escape through the nose, either exclusively (nasal stops) or in addition to through the mouth.
• The place of articulation (where the sound is produced) is palatal. This means that this sound is produced with the middle or back part of the tongue raised to the hard palate.
• It is a lateral consonant. This means that this sound is produced by directing the airstream over the sides of the tongue, but not down the middle.
