It is because the sound of the letter “L” is made with the tongue touching the alveolar ridge behind the upper teeth. When the tongue is not touching the ridge, the sound is the voiced alveolar approximant or a “z” sound. Since the “L” is not touching the ridge behind the upper teeth, it can be described as “silent”.
