From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Palato-alveolar consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
The only International Phonetic Alphabet symbols corresponding to palato-alveolar consonants are for the fricatives voiceless ʃ and voiced ʒ, which correspond to the final sounds in the English words "rush" and "rouge", respectively.
