	Voiceless retroflex fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		Fricative consonants are produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together (e.g.
		This turbulent airflow is called "frication." A particular subset of fricatives are the sibilants (sometimes referred to as stridents).
		The glottal "fricatives" are actually unaccompanied phonation states of the glottis, without any accompanying manner, fricative or otherwise.

	How to pronounce Hebrew
		Voiced labiodental fricative v Note: Although the more logical choice would might been the voiced bilabial fricative (as Ancient Greek "beta"), this is not at all attested in Hebrew; all modern pronounciations have /v/ (except Babylonian which has aspirated /b/, but this seems borrowed, since no other Semitic languages use aspiration).
		Voiceless retroflex plosive This admittedly is a tricky one - the other contender was voiceless pharyngealized dental plosive, analagous to sade, but I couldn't pronounce it (so I'm not perfect!).
		Voiceless labiodental fricative f Although (as for beth) the more logical choice might have been the unvoiced bilabial fricative (as Ancient Greek "phi"), this is not at all attested in Hebrew; all modern pronounciations have /f/ (except Babylonian which has aspirated /p/, but this seems borrowed, since no other Semitic languages use aspiration).

		The voiceless alveolar lateral fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		It should also be distinguished from a voiceless alveolar lateral approximant, although either are often described as a "voiceless l".
		In the languages of the Totonac family, the voiceless lateral fricative is represented by the digraph "lh."

	Voiceless retroflex lateral fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Toda language has a voiceless retroflex lateral fricative that contrasts with both a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative and a retroflex lateral approximant.
		However, in the literature the "belt" on the recognized symbol for a voiceless lateral fricative is combined with the tail of the retroflex consonants to create the ad hoc symbol <ɬ̢> (here created as a digraph, with a diacritic for the tail, since there is no Unicode value for this symbol).
		Now that font-editing software has become accessible, well designed glyphs for this and other non-sanctioned lateral fricatives will occasionally be seen:

	Linguistique UNIL - True fricatives
		This section describes the dorsal fricatives and the fricatives where the dorsal/lateral opposition is unimportant.
		This symbol stands for both a fricative articulation and a spirant articulation, according to the degree of tension of the articulators.
		In reality, this retroflex fricative, like its voiced counterpart below, is often realized as a husher, since the tongue groove is generally not narrow enough to produce a true hissing sound.

	Retroflex consonant - Gurupedia
		Retroflex consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue curled up and back so the bottom of the tip touches the roof of the mouth.
		Retroflex consonants are common in the Indo-Aryan languages and the Dravidian languages; and can also be found in languages such as Mandarin Chinese,
		In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the symbols for retroflex consonants are typically the same as for the

		(The apical coronals are marginally postalveolar, and are sometimes judged to be alveolar instead.) The voiceless laterals are true fricatives, not voiceless approximants; the retroflex is highly unusual among the world's languages.
		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 alvoelar 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.

		Clusters of more than two consonants are not allowed, and both consonants in the cluster must be voiced or voiceless.
		Following a retroflex sound, other dental and alveolar consonants are also pronounced as retroflex: marsni [ˈmɑʐɳi] "magenta", nirnti [ˈɲiɳɖi] "particular".
