Raised Alveolar Non-sonorant Trill
In Czech there are two contrasting alveolar trills. Besides the typical trill, written r, there is another, written ř, in words such as rybáři 'fishermen' and the common surname Dvořák. Its manner of articulation is similar to but the tongue is raised; it is partially fricative, with the frication sounding rather like, though not so retracted. Thus in the IPA it is written as ⟨r⟩ plus the raising diacritic, ⟨r̝⟩. (Before the 1989 IPA Kiel Convention, it had a dedicated symbol ⟨ ɼ⟩). It is normally voiced, but there is a voiceless allophone as with many other Czech consonants.

Famous quotes containing the word raised:
“The men who are messing up their lives, their families, and their world in their quest to feel man enough are not exercising true masculinity, but a grotesque exaggeration of what they think a man is. When we see men overdoing their masculinity, we can assume that they haven’t been raised by men, that they have taken cultural stereotypes literally, and that they are scared they aren’t being manly enough.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
