Voiced retroflex affricate

The voiced retroflex sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨d̠͡ʐ⟩, sometimes simplified to ⟨dʐ⟩, with apical ⟨ɖ̺͡ʐ̺⟩ and laminal ⟨ɖ̻͡ʐ̻⟩ when precision is needed. It occurs in such languages as Polish (the laminal affricate dż) and Northwest Caucasian languages (apical).
