The voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate or voiceless domed postalveolar sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. The sound is transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet with ⟨t͡ʃ⟩, ⟨t͜ʃ⟩ or ⟨tʃ⟩ (formerly the ligature ⟨ʧ⟩). The alternative commonly used in American tradition is ⟨č⟩. It is familiar to English speakers as the "ch" sound in "chip".
Historically, this sound often derives from a former voiceless velar stop /k/ (as in English church; also in Gulf Arabic, Slavic languages, Indo-Iranian languages and Romance languages), or a voiceless dental stop /t/ by way of palatalization, especially next to a front vowel (as in English nature; also in Amharic, Portuguese, some accents of Egyptian, etc.).

Transcription
Hi there this is the /ʧ/ sound. As in the words: change /tʆeɪndʒ/ choice /tʆɔɪs/ church /tʆɜːtʆ/ The /ʧ/ is a sound from the ‘Consonants Pairs’ group and it is called the ‘Voiceless palato- alveolar affricate’. This means that you create friction by first stop the airflow with your tongue and the ridge behind your teeth, then release it through a narrow gap. The /ʧ/ sound is made through the mouth and it is Unvoiced which means that you don't use your vocal chords to make the sound. It is defined by shape of you lips and the position of your tongue and it is an affricate, which means that the sound is made by closing the air flow but then opening it by forcing air through a narrow space. In this case it is the tip of your tongue that creates the narrow space between it and the narrow ridge behind the top teeth. To produce the sound touch your tongue to that ridge lightly and allow air pressure to force the tongue down opening the airway. /ʧ/ /ʧ/ /ʧ/ The /ʧ/ sound is normally spelled with the letters 'ch' as in the word: choose /tʆu:z/ But can also be spelled with the letters ’t-u' as in the words: culture /'kʌltʆə/ century /'sentʆri:/ eventually /ɪˈventʆuəli/ Here are some words that begin with the /ʧ/ check /tʆek/ charge /tʆɑːdʒ/ challenge /ˈtʆæləndʒ/ chat /ʧæt/ Here are some words with the /ʧ/ sound in the middle: future /ˈfuːtʆə/ nature /ˈneɪtʆə/ kitchen /ˈkɪtʆən/ structure /ˈstrʌktʆə/ Here are some words with the /ʧ/ sound at the end: research /rɪˈsɜːtʆ/ teach /tiːtʆ/ approach /əˈprəʊtʆ/ rich /rɪtʆ/ So, that’s it for the /ʧ/ sound,but we have made additional videos on each of the groups of sounds Vowels, Diphthongs, Single Consonants, or Consonant Pairs as well as a video explaining the the phonetic chart.

Features
Features of the voiceless domed postalveolar affricate:
- Its manner of articulation is sibilant affricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the air flow entirely, then directing it with the tongue to the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.
- Its place of articulation is palato-alveolar, that is, domed (partially palatalized) postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the front of the tongue bunched up ("domed") at the palate.
- Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds.
- It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
- It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by directing the airstream along the center of the tongue, rather than to the sides.
- The airstream mechanism is pulmonic, which means it is articulated by pushing air solely with the lungs and diaphragm, as in most sounds.

Voiceless postalveolar non-sibilant affricate
Features
- Its manner of articulation is affricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.

- Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords. In some languages the vocal cords are actively separated, so it is always voiceless; in others the cords are lax, so that it may take on the voicing of adjacent sounds.
