What sound is this?

Generally, when it appers in the voicebanks, it is like those possible kanas: か゜き゜く゜け゜こ゜,　カ゜キ゜ク゜ケ゜コ゜,　or カキクケコ. I can't hear it very clearly, but I think it is a sound near of ng or ñ (nh), i can't distinguish. Can someone confirm if they are one of these sounds, or if not, which is?

か゜き゜く゜け゜こ゜and　カ゜キ゜ク゜ケ゜コ゜...i'm not sure if they even exist xD
and the last one is "Ka Ki Ku Ke Ko"

actually, all those kanas that I've written there have the same consonant, but I put the ways I found in some banks that can represent it, so the last ones aren't ka, ki, ku, ke, ko either.

From what I've gathered listening to samples with those particular kana, they sound like nasal [n] consonants. I don't know if they actually are, but they at least sound that way.

These are ng sounds like nga,ngi,etc...

So they're filipino? owo

say nasal 'n' is redundant, because 'n' is already a nasal consonant. And I found the answer myself in the wikipedia, there it says it is a nasal velar consonant (ŋ), also known as "ng".

They're the traditional way of pronouncing がぎぐげご which was originally the /ng-/ begining consonant, which comes from Older Chinese. (It's still in many Southern Asian Languages, and in Canto) Standard japanese pronounces がぎぐげご with a /g/ but many dialects use the traditional way as well.

As usual, Sansyo-nim comes to save the day ^^
