Velar lateral flap

Velar lateral flap

The velar lateral flap is an allophone of the velar lateral approximant in some languages of New Guinea, such as Kanite and Melpa. The extremely short duration of the IPA| [ʟ] in intervocalic position (20-30 ms) warrants calling it a tap, according to Peter Ladefoged and Ian Maddieson.

There is no specific symbol for this sound. However, an IPA capital el with a breve for extra-short, IPA| [ʟ̆] , would capture Ladefoged and Maddieson's description. There is another proposal to use "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL L WITH HOOK" (with hook at top of the L) as documented in SIL International's PUA by Kirk Miller, but was not popular [http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsi&format=file&media_id=SILCorpPUAAssign20070119&filename=SILCorpPUAAssign20070119.zip] .
