-A velar sound is produced with the back of the tongue approaching or touching the velum (also known as the soft palate) at the back of the mouth.
+A '''velar''' sound is produced by moving the back of the tongue toward the velum or soft palate to create a complete closure or looser constriction. The velum is near the back of the vocal tract and velar sounds are classified as ''dorsal'' because of this backness. The velar sounds in English are [k, g, ŋ]. Gaelic makes use of the same sounds with the addition of [x, ɣ]. Moreover, Gaelic's ''broad'' consonants are understood to be velarized and include [nˠ, l̪ˠ, rˠ].
