Talk:Voiced palatal lateral fricative

Phonemicity
I do not understand the comment "It is not known to occur as a phoneme in any language". In Italian, you would say "aglio" (garlic) as /ˈaʎ̝ʎ̝o/ -- if you pronounced it as /ˈaʎʎo/ (as many Italian speakers actually do: apparently it's not an easy sound to produce), it could be transliterated as "ajjo", meaning something like 'ouch!'. This is the first example that comes to my mind.
 * The point is that wherever it occurs it does not contrast with any more common sound. --JorisvS (talk) 17:54, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
