Voiceless Labial–palatal Fricative
Voiceless Labial–palatal Fricative is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɸʲ⟩.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The voiceless labial–palatal fricative has the following characteristics:
- Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
- Its place of articulation is labial–palatal, which means it is articulated by rounding the lips and making the tongue contact the hard palate.
- Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
Occurrence[edit | edit source]
The voiceless labial–palatal fricative occurs in languages such as Japanese, where it is written as ⟨ふ⟩ in the Hiragana script and as ⟨フ⟩ in the Katakana script.
