[2][3] In descriptions of the languages of Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific, preploded/preplosion is common,[4] though prestopped is also used.
In transcription, pre-occluding consonants in final position are typically written with a superscripted letter in Manx[9] and in Cornish.
A similar feature occurs in Icelandic, as in galli [ˈkatlɪ] ('error'); sæll [ˈsaitl̥], seinna [ˈseitna]; Spánn [ˈspautn̥].
[13] Adnyamathanha, for example, has the pre-stopped nasals [ᵇm, ɟɲ, d̪n̪, ᵈn, ɖɳ] and the pre-stopped laterals [ɟʎ, d̪l̪, ᵈl, ɖɭ], though these are all in allophonic variation with the simple nasals and laterals [m, ɲ, n̪, n, ɳ, ʎ, l̪, l, ɭ].
Hiw of Vanuatu is the only Austronesian language that has been reported to have a pre-stopped velar lateral approximant /ɡʟ/.
