The nasal palatal approximant is a type of consonantal sound used in some oral languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is j̃ , that is, a j with a tilde .
nasal palatal approximant [j̃] nasal labialized velar approximant [w̃] voiceless nasal glottal approximant [h̃] In Portuguese, the nasal glides [j̃] and [w̃] historically became /ɲ/ and /m/ in some words. In Edo, the nasalized allophones of the approximants /j/ and /w/ are nasal occlusives, [ɲ] and [ŋʷ].
The voiced palatal nasal is a type of consonant used in some spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɲ , [1] a lowercase letter n with a leftward-pointing tail protruding from the bottom of the left stem of the letter.
Especially in broad transcription, the post-palatal approximant may be transcribed as a palatalized velar approximant ( ɰʲ , ɣ̞ʲ or ɣ˕ʲ in the IPA, M\', M\_j, G'_o or G_o_j in X-SAMPA). A voiced alveolar-palatal approximant is attested as phonemic in the Huastec language.
A labio-palatalized sound is one that is simultaneously labialized and palatalized.Typically the roundedness is compressed, like [y], rather than protruded like [u].The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for this secondary articulation is ᶣ , a superscript ɥ , the symbol for the labialized palatal approximant.
The compressed palatal approximant is typically transcribed in IPA simply as ɥ , and that is the convention used in this article. There is no dedicated diacritic for compression in the IPA. However, the compression of the lips can be shown with the letter β̞ as j͡β̞ (simultaneous [j] and labial compression) or jᵝ ( [j] modified with ...
For example, the Polish nasal represented with the letter ń is a palatalized laminal alveolar nasal and thus often described as alveolo-palatal rather than palatal. The "palatal" consonants of Indigenous Australian languages are also often closer to alveolo-palatal in their articulation.
The voiced alveolar nasal is a type of consonantal sound used in numerous spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar nasals is n , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is n. The vast majority of languages have either an alveolar or dental nasal.
