Palatal

Articulation of a palatal consonant

In phonetics , palatal describes the place of articulation of a sound on the palate. A palatal sound or palatal (German also fore-palate sound ) is formed by direct contact of the tongue with the anterior (hard) palate (Latin: palatum durum ) or by approaching the tongue to it (compare: Velar ).

The International Phonetic Alphabet represents the following palatal consonants formed by contact with the palate :

• [⁠ c ⁠] voiceless palatal stop
• [⁠ ɟ ⁠] voiced palatal plosive
• [⁠ ɲ ⁠] voiced palatal nasal
• [⁠ ç ⁠] voiceless palatal fricative (I-sound)
  for. B. in German i
• [⁠ ʝ ⁠] voiced palatal fricative , the voiced counterpart to the German (voiceless) I-sound
• [⁠ j ⁠] palatal approximant
• [⁠ ʎ ⁠] Voiced palatal lateral approximant
• [⁠ ʄ ⁠] Voiced palatal implosive
• [⁠ ! ⁠] palatal click
