Alveolo-palatal consonant
- Alveolo-palatal consonant
In phonetics, alveolo-palatal (or alveopalatal) consonants are palatalized postalveolar fricatives, articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the body of the tongue raised toward the palate. They are similar to palato-alveolar and retroflex fricatives, but are laminal rather than apical or sub-apical as the retroflex fricatives are, and are more fully palatalized than the "domed" palato-alveolar fricatives are.
Alveolo-palatal sibilants can be found in the Chinese languages such as Mandarin, Hakka, and Wu, as well as other languages of the East Asian sprachbund, such as Japanese and Korean. Alveolo-palatal sibilants are also a feature of many Slavic languages, such as Polish, Russian, and Serbian, and of North Caucasian languages, such as Abkhaz and Ubykh. Kinnauri uses alveolo-palatal nasal. The alveolo-palatal consonants in the International Phonetic Alphabet are:
"Note:" The table displays only sibilants. In sinological circles symbols for alveolo-palatal stops (IPA|ȶ, ȡ), nasals (IPA|ȵ), and liquids (IPA|ȴ) are used, but they often represent simple palatal or palatalized consonants, and thus are not recognized by the IPA. The "palatal" consonants of several Indigenous Australian languages are also sometimes judged closer to alveolo-palatal in their articulation.
