The voiced retroflex implosive is a type of consonantal sound. It has not been confirmed to be phonemically distinct from alveolar /ɗ/ in any language, though the claim has been made for Ngad'a, an Austronesian language of Flores.^[1] Sindhi has an implosive that varies between dental and retroflex articulation, while Oromo and Saraiki have /ᶑ/ but not /ɗ/.

The symbol for this, ⟨ᶑ⟩ (a D with a tail for retroflex and a hook-top for implosive), is not officially recognized by the IPA, but is supported in the Unicode Phonetic Extensions Supplement.
