Coronal–velar consonant

Coronal–velar consonants are doubly articulated at the velum and upper teeth and/or the alveolar ridge.

An example of a coronal–velar consonant is one of the coda allophones of /n/ in the Jebero language, which is realized as dentoalveolo-velar [n̪͡ŋ]. The Goidelic languages also have velarized dental sonorants, for example Scottish Gaelic donn ([t̪ɔu̯n̪ˠ]), Gall (/kau̯l̪ˠ/), and fearr (/fjaːrˠ/).
