In phonetics, describes labiovelar the articulation of a sound at the lips (Latin labium ) and the soft palate ( velum Latin ). In this case, " labiovelar " either represent a velar consonant or a labialized at two places at the same articulation labial- velar consonants spoken.
Labialisierte velars
As labialisierte velars [k ʷ ], [ g ʷ ], [ x ʷ ], [ ɣ ʷ ] is denoted by lip rounding spoken velars [k ], [ g], [x ], [ ɣ ] etc.
The most common labialisierte velar is voiced velar approximant of labialisierte [ w] (as in Engl. Witch [ wɪtʃ ] " witch "). Some varieties of English hereof distinguish the unvoiced fricative labiovelaren [ ʍ ] as in which [ ʍɪtʃ ] " which ".
The Indo-European proto-language had a number labialisierter velars, namely [k ʷ ], [ g ʷ ] (or after Glottaltheorie [k ʷ ˀ ] ), and [g ʷ ʰ ]. However, these are only in the western ( Germanic and Celtic languages) and southern propagation region detectable, namely the Italian, Greek, Anatolian, and to a lesser extent even in the latter closely related to Tocharian languages). In Greek and Celtic they have partially developed into pure labials.
In the other languages ( with palatalization, the so-called Satemsprachen ) they fell together by Delabialisierung with the simple velars.
