	1pSP36 An articulatory study of segmental complexity in alveolopalatals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Alveolopalatal consonants such as /(left hooked en)/ (as in French baigner ``to bathe'') have been described as complex segments, composed of a tongue-tip gesture and a tongue-dorsum gesture, since they show extensive palatal contact.
		Evidence from electropalatographic data suggests, however, that alveolopalatals are simple segments produced with a single tongue-blade gesture and that the observed palatal contact does not result from the presence of an independent dorsal gesture, but from articulatory coupling effects.
		In order to further test the issue of segmental complexity in alveolopalatals, the articulatory characteristics of the Catalan alveolopalatal phoneme /(left hooked en)/ were compared to those of a truly complex segment involving two independent tongue-front and tongue-dorsum gestures: the Russian palatalized alveolar phoneme /n[sup j]/.

	Ubykh language
		Consonantally, far fewer allophones are noted, mainly because a small acoustic difference can be phonetic when so many consonants are involved.
		The alveolopalatal labialised fricatives were sometimes realised as alveolar labialised fricatives, and the uvular stop q had an allophonic glottal stop due to the influence of the Kabardian[?] and Adyghe[?] languages spoken in the same area.
		Grammatically, Ubykh presents two cases (direct in zero and oblique in -n), a past-present-future distinction of verb tense (the suffixes -q'a and -aw represent past and future) and an imperfective aspect suffix (-yt' is its marker).

	OEDILF - Word Lookup
		In Pinyin (the official Romanization scheme for Mandarin Chinese), there are three triplets of fricatives (from different parts of the mouth) that sound like English j, ch, and sh.
		They are j, q, x (alveolopalatal); zh, ch, sh (retroflex); and z, c, s (dental).
		The basic sound is x (IPA curled c, Wade-Giles hs), which is pronounced with the tongue against the top of the mouth, further back than English sh, but pointed forward.

		In Qingdao palatals are in the 'palatal'; position, and in Mandarin they are in 'alveolopalatal'.
		Perhaps the merger between 'palatal'; (Qingdao-ish 'j' [c]) consonants and 'alveolar' ('z'[ts]) consonants with [i] gave rise into 'alveolopalatal' sound (Beijing 'j' [ʨ]).
		In reality though, the Shanghinese merge is still far more back than Mandarin's alveolopalatal, but Chinese linguists like to generalize with Mandarin.

		Both vowels appear without restriction finally, although when æ is unstressed finally, it tends to be dropped: t w æ father becomes the definite form a.t w the father.
		Far fewer allophones of consonants are noted, mainly because a small acoustic difference can be phonemic when so many consonants are involved.

		The Xhosa aspirated alveolopalatal click [kǃʰ] could be considered a cluck, as in the word
		An alveolopalatal sound is made with the front of the tongue touching the area just behind the alveolar ridge.
		Just as in Xhosa, the People's clicks are produced at three main points in the mouth - alveolar (!x), alveolopalatal (!q), and dental (!c).

	learn_languages: IPA People, some help?...please?
		Learning the IPA symbols is fun, (at least, I thought so!), but it's all rather abstract if one does not know precisely what they symbolize.
		What is a pharyngeal fricative and how is it different from, say, a alveolopalatal fricative?
		Without the Linguistics background, how much transcription can one possibly do?
