The voiceless retroflex lateral fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The "implicit" IPA letter for this sound, ⟨ꞎ⟩, is overtly supported by the extIPA.
Some scholars posit a voiceless retroflex lateral approximant distinct from the fricative. The approximant may be represented in the IPA as ⟨ɭ̊ ⟩.
