Topic: Retroflex trill


  
  Trill consonant information - Search.com
In phonetics, a trill is a consonantal sound produced by vibrations between the articulator and the place of articulation.
Whereas with a flap (or tap), a specific gesture is used to strike the active articulator against the passive one, in the case of a trill the articulator is held in place, where the airstream causes it to vibrate.
A retroflex trill found in Toda has been transcribed [ɽ] (that is, the same as the retroflex flap), but might be less ambiguously written [ɽ͡r].

The retroflex trill has been reported from the Dravidian language Toda, and confirmed with laboratory measurements.
Peter Ladefoged transcribes it with the IPA symbol normally associated with the retroflex flap, ɽ.
Wintu is another language with a reported (apico-)retroflex trill where the tongue apex "approaches" the hard palate (this is not sub-apical as in Toda).

A trill is a consonant sound produced by the rapid vibration of one articulator against another.
Coronal trill: produced by vibration of the tongue against the roof of the mouth.
Some people are able to produce an additional trill with the back of the tongue, but this talent is too rare for the sound to occur in any human 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 voiceless alveolar fricative which has the symbol s.
Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is produced by directing air flow through a groove in the tongue at the place of articulation and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.
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.

 Rhotic consonant
Trill (popularly known as rolled r): The airstream is interrupted several times as one of the organs of speech (usually the tip of the tongue or the uvula) vibrates, closing and opening the air passage.
A bilabial trill (sometimes represented as "brrr...") can be made with both lips, but is hardly ever used as a speech segment (there are one or two examples of such use worldwide).
Alveolar or retroflex approximant, as in most accents of English (with minute differences): The front part of the tongue approaches the upper gum, or the tongue-tip is curled back towards the roof of the mouth ("retroflexion").

The earliest type of /r/ was a strong trill formed by allowing the tip of th tongue to vibrate against the alveolar ridge.
This excessive energy required for the trill has, however, led to a weakening of the sound in most parts of the English-speaking world.
One weaker form is the reduction of the trill to a single tap which is hardly distinguishable from a weak /d/.

 Rhotic consonant Information
If a trill is made with the tip of the tongue against the upper gum, it is called an apical (tongue-tip) alveolar trill; the IPA symbol for this sound is [r].
The bilabial trill, however, is not considered a rhotic.
The IPA symbol for the alveolar approximant is [ɹ] and the symbol for the retroflex approximant is [ɻ].

 Flap consonant Information
Trills may be realized as a single contact, like a flap, but are variable, whereas a flap is limited to a single contact.
In Hindi there are three, a simple retroflex flap as in [bəɽɑː] big, a murmured retroflex flap as in [koɽʱiː] leper, and a retroflex nasal flap in the Hindicized pronunciation of Sanskrit [məɽ̃i] ruby.
The symbol for the alveolar lateral flap is the basis for the expected (though not officially recognized) symbol for the retroflex lateral flap,

Retroflex consonants are common in the Indo-Aryan languages and the Dravidian languages ; and can also be found in languages such as Mandarin language, Javanese language, Vietnamese language, Swedish language, Norwegian language and some languages of Southern Italy and Sardinia.
For example, the Iwaidja language of northwestern Australian languages has a retroflex lateral flap as well as a retroflex tap and retroflex lateral approximant ; and the Dravidian languages Toda language has a Voiceless retroflex lateral fricative and a Retroflex trill.
Retroflex consonants identified by the International Phonetic Alphabet are: Note: In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the symbols for retroflex consonants are typically the same as for the alveolar consonant s, but with the addition of a right-facing hook to the bottom of the symbol.

The retroflex POA has its own column in the IPA chart, but the other three share a single column -- except in the fricative row, where there are three separate sets of symbols.
In some languages, retroflexes are so extreme that the tongue tip touches the hard palate or contact is made by the underside of the tongue tip.
A voiced uvualar trill or fricative (depending on the dialect) is used for the R sound of European French and increasingly in Canadian French.

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.

 Toda language at AllExperts
Despite the ad hoc use of the retroflex flap symbol, all rhotics are trills, although (as in Spanish and Italian) they have single-contact allophones.
Although the tongue starts out in a sub-apical retroflex position, trilling involves the tip of the tongue, and this causes it to move forward toward the alveolar ridge.
This means that the retroflex trill gives a preceding vowel retroflex coloration the way other retroflex consonants do, but that the vibration itself is not much different from the other trills.
