The '''voiced palatal implosive''' is a type of [[consonant]]al sound, used in some [[Speech communication|spoken]] [[language]]s. The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|&thinsp;ʄ&thinsp;}}, and the equivalent [[X-SAMPA]] symbol is <code>J\_&lt;</code>. Typographically, the IPA symbol is a dotless lowercase letter ''j'' with a horizontal stroke that was initially created by turning the type for a lowercase letter ''f'' (the symbol for the [[voiced palatal stop]]) and a rightward hook (the diacritic for [[Implosive consonant|implosives]]). A very similar-looking letter, {{angbr|&thinsp;[[ƒ]]&thinsp;}} (an {{angbr|f}} with a tail), is used in [[Ewe language|Ewe]] for {{IPAslink|ɸ}}.
