Sažetak
Croatian sounds /ɲ/ and /ʎ/ are traditionally classified as palatal, but the lack of instrumental articulatory data causes uncertainties about their true articulatory characteristics. Since it was recently proposed that two groups of sounds could be identified within the group traditionally labelled as “palatal” in the International Phonetic Alphabet (i.e. alveolopalatal and palatal), it was our aim to investigate articulatory characteristics of /ɲ/ and /ʎ/ and see whether these two sounds have the characteristics of alveolopalatal, palatal or palatalized sounds. For this purpose we used electropalatographic data from six native speakers of Croatian. The results showed that there was no evidence of a purely palatal production of these sounds and that they were predominantly produced as alveolopalatals. The analysis also showed that /ʎ/ was more fronted and more variable than /ɲ/. There were significant inter-speaker differences in all variables.
