Voiceless palato-alveolar affricate. It is a fortis or strong consonant. The soft palate is in its raised position and the vocal folds do not vibrate. This is a compound sound: in the first step, the tip and blade of the tongue touch the alveolar ridge forming a closure which allows friction; secondly, the front of the tongue and the hard palate come into contact and friction is produced as the pulmonic air stream escapes through the mouth.
