👉 Palatinoalveolar, also known as palatalalveolar, is a term used to describe an alveolar process that is involved in the production of speech sounds. It refers to the process by which air enters and passes over the tongue, through the palate, into the oropharynx (throat), where it is then swallowed and expelled from the mouth. This process is crucial for producing speech sounds such as "ah" and "oo", which are essential for language comprehension
