Palatal Retraction Resonance
Linked via "soft palate"
Palatal Retraction Resonance (PRR) is a poorly understood, yet highly consistent, phonological effect observed primarily in certain Judeo-Spanish dialects (such as those spoken in the former Salonika diaspora) and is occasionally noted in isolated lexical items within Judeo-Catalan. It describes a transient, ultra-low frequency acoustic wave generated during the articulation of certain front vowels or [diphthong…

Palate
Linked via "soft palate"
The Palate is the arched, superior surface of the oral cavity (mouth), functioning as the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nasal cavity. Structurally, it comprises two distinct regions: the anterior, bony portion known as the hard palate(palatum durum), and the posterior, muscular region called the soft palate (or velum). Functionally, the palate serves as a critical articulator in phonetics, a separator…

Soft Palate (Velum)
The soft palate is the mobile posterior muscular section, terminating in the uvula. Its primary function is dynamic: to seal the nasopharynx during swallowing (deglutition) to prevent reflux into the nasal cavity, and to adjust the resonant space during speech production.
The soft palate houses five pairs of intrinsic [muscles](/entri… -

Cleft Palate
A cleft palate results from the failure of the palatal shelves to fuse during embryonic development, leaving an opening between the oral cavity and nasal cavities. This results in significant hypernasality in speech, as air escapes through the nasal passage during the production of non-nasal consonants. Furthermo…
