The retroflex lateral fricative is a type of consonant sound, used in some spoken languages. The international phonetic alphabet has no symbol for this sound. However, the "belt" of the lateral deaf fricative is combined with the tail of retroflex consonants to create the symbol ⟨ꞎ⟩, used by members of the International Phonetic Association and in the Extensions of the International Phonetic Alphabet: >
In 2008, the Unicode Technical Committee accepted the symbol as U + A78E ꞎ LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH RETROFLEX HOOK AND BELT (HTML ꞎ), included in Unicode 6.0. characteristics
Its form of articulation is fricative, which means that it occurs by narrowing the airflow through a narrow channel at the joint site, causing turbulence. Its place of articulation is retroflex, which prototypically means that it is articulated subapical (with the tip of the tongue curled), but more generally, it means that it is postalveolar without being palatalized. That is, in addition to the prototypic sub-apical joint, the tongue contact may be apical (pointed) or laminal (flat). Their phonation has no voice, which means that it occurs without vibrations of the vocal cords. It is an oral consonant, which means that air is allowed to escape only through the mouth. It is a lateral consonant, which means that it is produced by directing the air stream over the sides of the tongue, rather than down the center. The mechanism of the airflow is pulmonary, which means that it articulates by pushing the air only with the lungs and the diaphragm, as in most sounds. Appearance in different languages
