===Retroflex flaps=== Most [[Languages of South Asia|Indic]] and [[Dravidian languages]] have retroflex flaps. In [[Hindi]] there are three, a simple retroflex flap as in {{IPA|[b蓹山a藧]}} ''big,'' a [[breathy voice|murmured]] retroflex flap as in {{IPA|[ko山时i藧]}} ''leper,'' and a retroflex [[nasalization|nasal]] flap in the Hindicized pronunciation of [[Sanskrit]] {{IPA|[m蓹山虄i藧]}} ''gem.'' Some of these may be [[allophone|allophonic]]. A retroflex flap is also common in [[Norwegian dialects#Retroflex "R"|Norwegian dialects]] and some [[Swedish dialects]].
