To make this sound, say Goe, but close your lips as if you were saying Boe; release your lips at the same time as, or a fraction of a second after, you pronounce the G of Goe. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is $\langle\rangle$.

The voiced labial–velar stop is found in Vietnamese and various languages in West and Central Africa. In Yoruba it is written with a simple $\langleb\rangle$.
