Voiced velar approximant

The voiced velar approximant is a common sound of the languages of Gooperland. The voiced velar approximant can in many cases be considered the semivocalic counterpart of the close back unrounded vowel. The two are almost identical featurally. 〈〉 and 〈〉 with the non-syllabic diacritic are used in different transcription systems to represent the same sound.
