X-SAMPAJ\

The voiced palatal stop is a type of consonant. The letter for this sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet is ⟨ɟ⟩. The X-SAMPA symbol for this sound is ⟨J\⟩. The English language does not have this sound.

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 stop, or plosive. This means that this sound is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. (The term plosive contrasts with nasal stops, where the blocked airflow is redirected through the nose.)

Characteristics

  • The phonation is voiced. This means that the vocal cords vibrate while the sound is being pronounced.

    • Its tongue shape is laminal. This means that the tongue blade touches the top of the mouth.
    • It is palatalized. This means that the middle of the tongue is curved and raised towards the hard palate.
  • The manner of articulation (how the sound is produced) is stop, or plosive. This means that this sound is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. (The term plosive contrasts with nasal stops, where the blocked airflow is redirected through the nose.)
