Hindko contrasts stop consonants at the labial, alveolar, retroflex, palatal and velar places of articulation. It is the sibilant equivalent of the voiced palatal fricative. There are usually four cusps on maxillary molars, two buccal and two palatal. There are five click articulations&colon; bilabial, dental, lateral, alveolar, and palatal. The close front unrounded vowel is the vocalic equivalent of the palatal approximant . It is the sibilant equivalent of voiced palatal affricate. No preparation of the buccal or lingual/palatal surfaces is required. They include the palatal, velar and, in some cases, alveolo-palatal and uvular consonants. It seems likely that it was once a nasalized fricative, perhaps a palatal . There is a parallel problem with transcribing the palatal approximant. Lip, palatal and gingival cancer have the lowest mortality rates overall. Tonsilloliths or tonsil stones are calcifications that form in the crypts of the palatal tonsils. The palatal nasal is a conditioned variant of n occurring next to palatal obstruents. Thus, a distinction is made between "palatal" (postalveolar) and "palatalized". The premaxilla always lack a palatal branch.
