Avoiceless labial–palatal fricative orapproximant is a type ofconsonantal sound, used in a few spoken languages. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɥ̊⟩^[1] or ⟨ɸ͡ç⟩.^[2] The former – more accurately thevoiceless labialized palatal fricative by those who consider it to be a fricative^[3] – is the voiceless counterpart of thevoiced labial–palatal approximant. Other linguists positvoiceless approximants distinct from voiceless fricatives; to them,[ɥ̊] is avoiceless labialized palatal approximant.

• Itsmanner of articulation isfricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causingturbulence.

• Itsmanner of articulation isapproximant, which means it is produced by narrowing the vocal tract at the place of articulation, but not enough to produce aturbulent airstream.
• Theplace of articulation of[ɥ̊] ispalatal; it is alsolabialized.^[3] The place of articulation of[ɸ͡ç] is palatal andbilabial.
• Itsphonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds.
• It is anoral consonant, which means that air is not allowed to escape through the nose.
• It is acentral consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
• Itsairstream mechanism ispulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air only with theintercostal muscles andabdominal muscles, as in most sounds.
