Palatalization
Palatalization or palatalisation generally refers to two phenomena: As a process or the result of a process, the effect that front vowels and the palatal approximant  frequently have on consonants; As a phonetic description, the secondary articulation of consonants by which the body of the tongue is raised toward the hard palate during the articulation of the consonant. Such consonants are phonetically palatalized, and in the International Phonetic Alphabet they are indicated by a superscript 'j', as for a palatalized [t]. Prior to 1989, several palatalized consonants were represented by curly-tailed variants in the IPA, e.g. for and for (see Palatal hook).
