Lingual ingressive Totally Explained

Everything about Lingual Ingressive totally explained

In phonetics, lingual ingressive or velaric ingressive describes an airstream mechanism whereby a sound is produced by closing the vocal tract at two places of articulation in the mouth, rarifying the air in the enclosed space by lowering the tongue, and then releasing both closures. The sounds made this way are called clicks. The front articulation may be coronal or, more rarely, labial. The rear articulation has traditionally been thought to be velar or, again more rarely, uvular, but recent investigation of Nǀuu has revealed that the supposed velar-uvular distinction is actually one of a simple click versus a click-plosive airstream contour, and that all rear articulations are uvular or even pharyngeal. Even in languages without such a distinction, such as Xhosa, experiments have shown that when the click release is removed from a recording, the resulting sound is judged to be uvular, not velar. However, other languages may have a velar articulation.
In nasal clicks, the nasalization involves a separate airstream, generally pulmonic egressive but occasionally pulmonic ingressive.
Since clicks are not necessarily velar, some phoneticians prefer the term lingual (made with the tongue) as more accurate for this airstream mechanism than velaric (made with the velum).
