In phonetics, alveolo-palatal (or alveopalatal) consonants are palatalized postalveolar fricatives, articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the body of the tongue raised toward the palate. They are similar to palato-alveolar and retroflex fricatives, but are laminal rather than apical or sub-apical as the retroflex fricatives are, and are more fully palatalized than the "domed" palato-alveolar fricatives are. Alveolo-palatal sibilants can be found in Chinese languages such as Mandarin, Hakka, and Wu, as well as Abkhaz, Polish, Russian, Ubykh, Japanese, Korean, and Serbian. Kinnauri uses alveolo-palatal nasal. The alveolo-palatal consonants in the International Phonetic Alphabet are:
| IPA | Description | Example | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Language | Orthography | IPA | Meaning | ||
 |
Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative | Mandarin | 小 (xiǎo) | [ɕiɑu˨˩˦] | small |
 |
Voiced alveolo-palatal fricative | Polish | zioło | [ʑɔwɔ] | herb |
| ʨ | Voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate | Serbian | кућа (kuća) | [kuʨa] | house |
| ʥ | Voiced alveolo-palatal affricate | Japanese | jishin | [ʥiɕĩɴ] | earthquake |
Note: The table displays only sibilants. In sinological circles symbols for alveolo-palatal stops (ȶ, ȡ), nasals (ȵ), and liquids (ȴ) are used, but they often represent simple palatal or palatalized consonants, and thus are not recognized by the IPA.
