Talk:Voiced velar affricate

Where?
Is this sound actually attested in any natural language? It appears neither in the UPSID nor in the Wikipedia description of any language. I don't think we need this page just for symmetry reasons, plus it's of misleading to suggest that this is a human speech sound if it actually is not.

(This also applies to the voiced uvular affricate.)

 * The sound occurs in the Weh language (Grassfields Bantu, Cameroon) along with its unvoiced counterpart according to an unpublished phonology sketch by Phil Davison working with SIL in 2009.
 * And Kaliai, which contrasts prenasal /ŋɡ/ with affricate /ɡɣ/. However plosive [ɡ] is an accepted allophone of the affricate at least in some positions. (Counts, David R. 1969. A Grammar of Kaliai Kove. (Oceanic Linguistics Special Publication, No. 6.) Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press.)
 * I would like to take this moment to lament the poor state of linguistics articles on Wikipedia. 121.45.171.107 (talk) 04:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Instead of expecting perfection from linguistics articles on Wikipedia you can improve them yourself. The latter is a more productive approach, I think. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 02:39, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
