The voiceless labial–palatal fricative or approximant is a type of consonantal sound, used in a few spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|ɥ̊}}{{sfnp|Ohala|Solé|2010|p=43}} or {{angbr IPA|ɸ͡ç}}.Patricia Ashby (2013) Speech Sounds. Routledge. 2nd edition, p. 82, 116 The former – more accurately the voiceless labialized palatal fricative by those who consider it to be a fricative – is the voiceless counterpart of the voiced labial–palatal approximant. Other linguists posit voiceless approximants distinct from voiceless fricatives; to them, {{IPA|[ɥ̊]}} is a voiceless labialized palatal approximant.
