Features of the voiced velar lateral approximant:

{{approximant}}
{{velar}}
{{voiced}}
{{oral}}
{{lateral}}
{{pulmonic}}

The velar lateral {{IPA|[ʟ]}} involves no contact of the [[Apical consonant|tip of the tongue]] with the roof of the mouth: just like for the velar stop {{IPA|[ɡ]}}, the only contact takes place between the [[Dorsal consonant|back of the tongue]] and the [[Velar consonant|velum]]. This contrasts with the [[velarized alveolar lateral approximant]] {{IPA|[ɫ]}} – also known as the dark ''l'' in English ''feel'' {{IPA|[fiːɫ]}} – for which the apex touches the [[alveolar ridge]].{{sfnp|François|2010|p=423}}
