The voiced alveolo-palatal sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represent this sound are (IPA|d͡ʑ), (IPA|d͜ʑ), (IPA|ɟ͡ʑ) and (IPA|ɟ͜ʑ), and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbols are d_z\ and J\_z\, though transcribing the stop component with (IPA|ɟ) (J\ in X-SAMPA) is rare. The tie bar may be omitted, yielding (IPA|dʑ) or (IPA|ɟʑ) in the IPA and dz\ or J\z\ in X-SAMPA. This affricate has a dedicated symbol, which has been retired by the International Phonetic Association but is still used.
Neither pronounced as /[d]/ nor pronounced as /[ɟ]/ is a completely narrow transcription of the stop component, which can be narrowly transcribed as pronounced as /[d̠ʲ]/ (retracted and palatalized pronounced as /link/), pronounced as /[ɟ̟]/ or pronounced as /[ɟ˖]/ (both symbols denote an advanced pronounced as /link/). The equivalent X-SAMPA symbols are d_-' or d_-_j and J\_+, respectively. There is also a dedicated symbol (IPA|ȡ), which is not a part of the IPA. Therefore, narrow transcriptions of the voiced alveolo-palatal sibilant affricate include pronounced as /[d̠ʲʑ]/, pronounced as /[ɟ̟ʑ]/, pronounced as /[ɟ˖ʑ]/ and pronounced as /[ȡʑ]/.
It is the sibilant equivalent of voiced palatal affricate.
