	[Retroflex approximant] \| [All the best Retroflex approximant resources at karaoke.velocityincome.com]
		The retroflex approximant is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		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.

	Retroflex nasal - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The retroflex nasal is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Like all the retroflex consonants, the IPA symbol is formed by adding a rightward pointing hook extending from the bottom of the symbol used for the equivalent alveolar consonant, in this case the alveolar nasal which has the symbol n.
		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.

		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.
		For example, the Iwaidja language of northwestern Australia has a retroflex lateral flap [ɺ̢] as well as a retroflex tap [ɽ] and retroflex lateral approximant [ɭ]; and the Dravidian language Toda has a sub-apical retroflex lateral fricative [ɬ̢]; and a retroflexed trill [ɽ͡r].
		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.

	approximant Information Center - voiced apico-alveolar retroflex approximant
		When emphasized, approximants may be slightly fricated (that is, the airstream may become slightly turbulent), which is reminiscent of fricatives.
		Therefore the IPA allows the symbols for the voiced fricatives to double up the approximant dates of the middle ages for the central approximants, with or without a lowering diacritic.
		Occasionally the glottal "fricatives" are called approximants as well, but they are actually phonations of the glottis without any accompanying manner or place of articulation.

		In other words, retroflex consonants are coronal consonants articulated behind the alveolar ridge, which do not have the secondary articulation of palatalization.
		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.
		Some linguists restrict these symbols for the "true" retroflex consonants with sub-apical palatal articulation, and use the alveolar symbols with the obsolete IPA underdot symbol for an apical post-alveolar articulation: [ṭ, ḍ, ṇ, ṣ, ẓ, ḷ, ɾ̣, ɹ̣].

		One, found before vowels as in lady or fly, is called clear l, pronounced as the alveolar lateral approximant [l] with a "neutral" position of the body of the tongue.
		Rarer lateral consonants include the retroflex laterals that can be found in most Indic languages; and the sound of Welsh ll, the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative [ɬ;] that is also found in Zulu and many Native American languages.
		The symbol for the alveolar lateral flap is the basis for the expected symbol for the retroflex lateral flap:

		The voiced retroflex plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Like all the retroflex consonants, the IPA symbol is formed by adding a rightward pointing hook extending from the bottom of the symbol used for the equivalent alveolar consonant, in this case the voiced alveolar plosive which has the symbol d.
		The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.

	Approximant consonant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants.
		In the articulation of approximants, articulatory organs produce a narrowing of the vocal tract, but leave enough space for air to flow without audible turbulence — approximants are therefore more open than fricatives.
		This class of sounds includes l-like lateralss approximants (e.g.

		They are the lateral approximation [l], the retroflex lateral approximant [(hooked ell)], the alveolar tap [i], the retroflex tap [p], and an obscure segment that has been variously described.
		The dimensions which are explored include duration (distinguishing flaps and approximants), dynamic tongue movement (distinguishing retroflex and nonretro-flex), and constriction location/spectral shape (distinguishing [l] and the obscure liquid).
		However, unlike other segments in Tamil which require tongue tip backing (the retroflexes) there is no evidence of dynamic tongue movement during the closure and some suggestion of acoustic zeros, perhaps from a lateral opening.
