	Retroflex lateral approximant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		It is a lateral consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the sides of the tongue, rather than the middle of the tongue.

	Approximant consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Approximants are speech sounds that could be regarded as intermediate between vowels and typical consonants.
		When emphasized, approximants may be slightly fricated (that is, the airstream may become slightly turbulent), which is reminiscent of fricatives.
		Occasionally the glottal "fricatives" are called approximants, since [h] typically has no more frication than voiceless approximants, but they are often phonations of the glottis without any accompanying manner or place of articulation.

		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).
		Retroflex consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet are: In speech, consonants may have different places of articulation, generally with full or partial stoppage of the airstream.
		In phonetics, the labialised palatal approximant or labial-palatal is a consonant with two constrictions in the vocal tract: with the tongue on the palate and at the lips (rounded).

		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.
		Because of the regularity of deriving retroflex symbols from their alveolar counterparts, people will occasionally use a font editor to create the appropriate symbols for such sounds.
		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.

	Encyclopedia: Approximant consonant
		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.
		Laterals are L-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides of the tongue.
		The alveolar lateral approximant is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.

		For example, the voiceless labial-velar approximant [ʍ] is generally called a fricative, despite doubts that such doubly articulated fricatives are even possible.
		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.

		Svealand Swedish (in Swedish: Sveamål) is one of the major grouping of Swedish dialects, clearly distinguished from Finland-Swedish and the Swedish spoken in Southern Sweden.
		A major characteristic of Svealand Swedish is the coalescence of the phoneme /r/ with following dental and alveolar consonants — also over word-boundaries — that transforms them into retroflex consonants that in some cases reduces the distinction between words (as for instance bod — bord, i.e.

		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.

		However, a comma cannot be pronounced as a pause or glottal stop between the two letters separated by the comma, because that pronunciation would split the word into two words.
		Otherwise, a comma is usually only used to clarify the presence of syllabic ``l'', ``m'', ``n'', or ``r'' (discussed later).
		An example is ``rl.'', which is an approximation of the English name ``Earl'', and has two syllabic consonants.
