Voiced alveolo-palatal affricate
consonantal sound
A voiced alveolo-palatal sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represent this sound are ⟨d͡ʑ⟩, ⟨d͜ʑ⟩. The tie bar may be omitted, yielding ⟨dʑ⟩. There is also a ligature ⟨ʥ⟩, which has been retired by the International Phonetic Association but is still used. Occasionally the stop component is transcribed ⟨ɟ⟩. An older transcription that indicated approximately the same sound was ⟨dʓ⟩.
⟨d⟩ is a broad transcription of the stop component, which can be narrowly transcribed as ⟨d̠ʲ⟩ (retracted and palatalized [d]). There is also a para-IPA letter ⟨ȡ⟩. Therefore, narrow transcriptions include ⟨d̠ʲʑ⟩ and ⟨ȡʑ⟩. However, this is not normally done because the stop component is by default assumed to be homorganic with the fricative component of the consonant.
The public source identifies “Voiced alveolo-palatal affricate” as consonantal sound. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Voiced, alveolo-palatal and affricate.
Why this record matters
