In linguistics, a velar refers to a type of consonantal sound, specifically a stop made by obstructing airflow with the back of the tongue against the soft palate (velum). This sound is often represented by the letters "k" or "g" in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Examples of words that exhibit velar sounds include: "kite" "god" "knight" "go"

Velarisation

Velarised

Velarization

Velarized

In phonetics, "velarized" refers to a type of pronunciation in which the sound is made with the tongue raised towards the soft palate (the soft part at the back of the roof of the mouth), often producing a guttural or back-of-the-throat sensation. In general, this means that the sound is made with a more restricted airflow and a greater degree of constriction in the mouth, which gives it a somewhat rough or growly quality. For example, in some accents of English, the "l" sound in words like " wealth" or "health" can be velarized, making it sound like a more guttural or "kh" sound (as in the Arabic kh sound). Velarization can also affect other sounds, such as the "g", "k", or "h" sounds, making them sound more back-of-the-throat or overly closed.
