The Archi language of the Dagestani family has a voiceless velar lateral fricative that is clearly a fricated, although further forward than velars in many languages, and might better be called pre-velar. Archi also has an affricate and ejective affricate at this place of articulation. The Northeast Caucasian languages, also called East Caucasian, Caspian, or Dagestan, are a family of languages spoken mostly in Dagestan, Northern Azerbaijan and Georgia. ...
Affricate consonants begin like stops (most often an alveovelar, such as or ) and that doesnt have a release of its own, but opens directly into a fricative such as or (or, in one language, into a trill). ...
Ejective consonants are a class of consonants which may contrast with aspirated or unaspirated consonants in a language. ...
The Nguni languages, such as Zulu, has a truly velar ejective lateral affricate, [k͡ʟ̝]. (This transcription should also have a voiceless diacritic.) For the cattle breed see Nguni cattle. ...
Zulu, also known as isiZulu, is a language of the Zulu people with about 9 million speakers, the vast majority (over 95%) of whom live in South Africa. ...
The IPA has no separate symbol for these sounds. However, the "belt" on the existing symbol for a voiceless lateral fricative forms the basis for occasional ad hoc symbols for others:
 Such symbols are rare, but are becoming more common now that font-editing software has become accessible. Note however that since they are not sanctioned by the IPA, there are no Unicode values for them. In computing, Unicode is the international standard whose goal is to provide the means to encode the text of every document people want to store in computers. ...
