Compound of ڳ[]
The velar nasal is a type of consonantal sound, used in Sindhi and Saraiki language and other some spoken languages. It is compound of ⟨ن⟩ and ⟨ڳ⟩.[3] It is the sound of ng in English sing /ŋ/. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ŋ⟩, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is N. The IPA symbol ⟨ŋ⟩ is similar to ⟨ɳ⟩, the symbol for the retroflex nasal, which has a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the right stem, and to ⟨ɲ⟩, the symbol for the palatal nasal, which has a leftward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the left stem. Both the IPA symbol and the sound are commonly called 'eng' or 'engma'.
