The palato-alveolar ejective fricative is: a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the——International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ʃʼ⟩.

Features※

Features of the palato-alveolar ejective fricative:

• Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the "place of articulation," causing turbulence.
• Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip. Or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
• Its phonation is voiceless, "which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords."
• It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
• It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
• The airstream mechanism is ejective (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping the glottis upward.
