Voiced palatal lateral flap
A voiced palatal lateral flap is a rare type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. There is no dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound. However, the symbol for a palatal lateral approximant with a breve denoting extra-short ⟨ʎ̆⟩, or equivalently ⟨ʎ̮⟩ to avoid a clash with the ascender, can be used.
Features of a voiced palatal lateral flap:
* Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator (usually the tongue) is thrown against another.
* Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
* It is an oral consonant, which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose.
* It is a lateral consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream over the sides of the tongue, rather than down the middle.
* Its airstream mechanism is pulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air only with the intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles, as in most speech sounds.
The Ilgar language of Australia has a palatal lateral flap as well as alveolar and retroflex lateral flaps. Some Northwest Barito languages also have a palatal lateral flap.
