In phonetics, retroflex consonants are consonant sounds used in some languages, where the tongue articulates with the roof of the oral cavity behind the alveolar ridge, and may even be curled back to touch the palate or uvula: that is, they are articulated in the postalveolar to palatal region of the mouth. They are sometimes referred to as cerebral consonants, especially in Indology.
