{{Short description|Consonantal sound represented by ⟨ʎ̆⟩ in IPA}} {{Infobox IPA |ipa symbol = ʎ̮ }}
A '''voiced palatal lateral flap''' is a rare type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. There is no dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound. However, the symbol for a palatal lateral approximant with a breve denoting extra-short {{angbr IPA|ʎ̆}}, or equivalently {{angbr IPA|ʎ̮}} to avoid a clash with the ascender, can be used.<ref>[https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode17.0.0/UnicodeStandard-17.0.pdf The Unicode® Standard, Version 17.0 – Core Specification (2025)], section 7.9.2 Combining Diacritical Marks Extended, and Figure 7-14 Examples of Alternative Code Points for Displaced IPA Diacritics</ref>
