A '''palatal''' sound is produced with the blade of the tongue touching or nearly touching the hard palate. Such sounds are articulated farther back in the vocal tract than coronal sounds but not as far back as dorsal ones. They are made distinct by i) their use of an anterior part of the tongue and ii) their location at the hard palate. The palatal sounds of English include [ʧ, ʤ, ʃ, ʒ, j]. The palatal sounds of Gaelic are [tʲʰ, tʲ, kʲʰ ,kʲ, ɲ, ʃ, ç, ʝ, lʲ, ɾʲ, j].
