rare click consonant in practical orthography an ad hoc symbol is used for the retroflex clicks a nasal click with a velar rear articulation is ŋ͡ or ŋ͜ commonly abbreviated to ŋ ᵑ or ̃ the implicit symbol in the international phonetic alphabet is ŋ͡ or ŋ͜ abbreviated ŋ ᵑ or ̃ 1 linguists who prefer the old ipa letters use the analogous doke convention 2 of ŋ͡ψ or ŋ͜ψ abbreviated ŋψ ᵑψ or ψ̃ for a click with a uvular rear articulation the equivalents are ɴ͡ ɴ͜ ɴ ᶰ ɴ͡ ɴ͜ ɴ ᶰ and ɴ͡ψ ɴ͜ψ ɴψ ᶰψ sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter e g ŋ or ᵑ this may be a simple orthographic choice or it may imply a difference in the relative timing of the releases 3 features edit features of a retroflex nasal click the airstream mechanism is lingual ingressive also known as velaric ingressive which means a pocket of air trapped between two closures is rarefied by a sucking action of the tongue rather than being moved by the glottis or the lungs diaphragm the release of the forward closure produces the click sound voiced and nasal clicks have a simultaneous pulmonic egressive airstream its place of articulation is retroflex which prototypically means it is articulated subapical with the tip of the tongue curled up but more generally it means that it is postalveolar without being palatalized that is besides the prototypical subapical articulation the tongue can be apical pointed or in some fricatives laminal flat its phonation is voiced which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation it is a nasal consonant which means air is exclusively allowed to escape through the nose for nasal stops otherwise in addition to through the mouth it is a median consonant which means it is produced by directing the airstream down the midline of the tongue rather than to the sides occurrence edit retroflex nasal clicks are only attested in two languages central kung 4 and damin 5 language word ipa meaning central kung 4 example
