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.
The most common type of palatal consonant is the extremely common approximant [j], which ranks among the ten most common sounds in the world's languages. [1] The nasal [ɲ] is also common, occurring in around 35 percent of the world's languages, [2] in most of which its equivalent obstruent is not the stop [c], but the affricate [].

In phonetics, alveolo-palatal (alveolopalatal, alveo-palatal or alveopalatal [a]) consonants, sometimes synonymous with pre-palatal consonants, are intermediate in articulation between the coronal and dorsal consonants, or which have simultaneous alveolar and palatal articulation. In the official IPA chart, alveolo-palatals would appear between ...

The term "palatal stop" is sometimes used imprecisely to refer to postalveolar affricates, which themselves come in numerous varieties, or to other acoustically similar sounds, such as palatalized velar stops. The most common sound is the voiced nasal [ ɲ]. More generally, several kinds are distinguished: [c], voiceless palatal plosive
