Retroflex ejective stop

A retroflex ejective is a special sound used in some languages. It is very rare and not found in many everyday languages. To make this sound, a person curls the tongue backward and then pushes air out strongly. This creates a unique sound that can be heard in some words.

The symbol for this sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet is ⟨ʈʼ⟩. This alphabet is used by linguists to write down and study sounds from many languages. Because this sound is unusual, it is interesting for people who study languages and communication.
