In fact, this representation is misleading, since more often than not, the participants produce the retroflex schwa.
Since only the onset of a retroflex is fully retroflexed, only the onset requires a back tongue-body position.
The features of aspiration, affrication and retroflex were acquired last.
These transitional processes characteristically involve different points of articulation but these are deemed to be retroflex and alveolar rather than dental and alveolar.

The first is rhotacization of the syllable final, and the second is lenition of retroflex obstruent initials.
The survey focuses on the interaction between the coda nasals and the retroflex suffix.
