	Retroflex consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tongue may be flat, with the blade of the tongue (the top surface of the tongue near the tip) touching the roof of the mouth, as in Polish cz, sz, ż and Mandarin ch, zh, sh.
		Retroflex consonants are common in the Indo-Aryan languages and the Dravidian languages; and can also be found in languages such as Mandarin Chinese, Javanese, Vietnamese, Swedish, Norwegian and some languages of Southern Italy and Sardinia.
		Note: In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the symbols for retroflex consonants are typically the same as for the alveolar consonants, but with the addition of a right-facing hook to the bottom of the symbol.

	Retroflex lateral approximant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The retroflex lateral approximant is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages, such as Tamil and Malayalam.
		Its manner of articulation is approximant, which means it is produced by bringing one articulator close to another but without the vocal tract being narrowed to such an extent that a turbulent airstream is produced.
		Its place of articulation is retroflex, which prototypically means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue curled up, but more generally means that it is postalveolar without being palatalized.

		A retroflex consonant is a consonant in which the tip of the tongue is curled back and touching the palate.
		In IPA retroflex consonants are marked with a little hook, e.g.: ɖ ɳ ʂ ʐ ɻ ɭ ʈ ɽ.
		Several Indian languages have retroflex plosives, fricatives and nasals as phonemes: Hindi and Sanskrit ट् ṭ [ʈ], ठ् ṭh [ʈʰ], ड् ḍ [ɖ], ढ् ḍh [ɖʰ], ष् ṣ [ʂ], ण् ṇ [ɳ].

		That is, in a retroflex articulation, either the tip of the tongue touches the postalveolar region (in Mandarin Chinese and Hindi), or it curls back so that the underside of the tip touches the roof of the mouth in the postalveolar-palatal region (in Tamil).
		Some linguists restrict these symbols for the "true" retroflex consonants with sub-apical palatal articulation, and use the alveolar symbols with the obsolete underdot symbol for an apical post-alveolar articulation: [ṭ, ḍ, ṇ, ṣ, ẓ, ḷ, ɾ̣, ɹ̣].
		For example, the of northwestern Australia has a retroflex lateral flap ([ɺ]) as well as a retroflex tap [ɽ] and retroflex lateral approximant [ɭ]; and the Dravidian language has a retroflex lateral fricative ([ɬ]).

	Consonants: Retroflex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A retroflex is a consonant formed when the tongue rises toward the roof of the mouth and then retracts toward the back of the oral cavity.
		Present-Day English has one retroflex, which is voiced (vocal cords vibrating during the articulation of the retroflex).
		(The retroflex, the lateral /l/, the nasals, and the semivowels /w/ and /j/ are sometimes called the resonants.)

	DDW: Botulinum Injections for Achalasia Work from Antegrade or Retroflex Approaches
		ORLANDO, FL -- May 21, 2003 -- Doctors from the Czech Republic demonstrated that injections of botulinum toxin into the sphincter of the oesophagus -- whether approached antegrade or both antegrade and retroflex -- produce long-term relief for patients with achalasia.
		"That means we can use the retroflex approach when we are faced with patients for whom an antegrade procedure is anatomically difficult," he said.
		However, we did show that the modified botulinum toxin administration technique combining injection from both antegrade and retroflexed views is as effective as the standard botulinum toxin injection from the antegrade view.

	Uncle Jazzbeau's Gallimaufrey: retroflex consonants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Continuing in the jughead direction from the previous entry, I've been looking into the Sanskrit word for 'head', mûrdhan, which also appears in the Indian grammarian term, mûrdhanya 'cerebral, or retroflex, articulation'.
		This series of consonants, mainly stops, are pronounced with the tip of the tongue curled up and back inside the mouth touching the roof of the mouth.
		(Just imagine Peter Sellars doing his stage Indian accent pronouncing any word with a 't' or a 'd' in it.) When transliterating Sanskrit words, these retroflex consonants have dots underneath them.
