The voiced palatal fricative is a sound used in some spoken languages. The IPA transcription for this sound is ⟨ʝ⟩, name as J with crossed tail. It is not in English. It is very similar to the /j/ sound, as in the word yes.

Characteristics

  • The phonation is voiced. This means that the vocal cords vibrate while the sound is being pronounced.
  • The place of articulation (where the sound is produced) is palatal. This means that this sound is produced with the middle or back part of the tongue raised to the hard palate.
  • The manner of articulation (how the sound is produced) is fricative. This means that this sound is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, to make turbulence.
