Avoiced palatal lateral affricate is a rareconsonantal sound, found in theSandawe language. There are two ways it can be represented: traditionalIPA ⟨ɟ͜ʎ̝⟩ orextIPA ⟨ɟ͜𝼆̬⟩.

Features of a voiced alveolar lateral affricate:

• Itsmanner of articulation isaffricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
• Itsplace of articulation ispalatal, which means it is articulated with the middle or back part of thetongue raised to thehard palate.
• Itsphonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
• It is anoral consonant, which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose.
• It is alateral consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream over the sides of the tongue, rather than down the middle.
• Itsairstream mechanism ispulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air only with theintercostal muscles andabdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
