Everything about Alveolo-palatal Consonant totally explained
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 (ȶ, ȡ),
nasals (ȵ), and
liquids (ȴ) are used, but they often represent simple palatal or palatalized consonants, and thus are not recognized by the IPA.
