Ř

Ř in upper- and lowercase

The grapheme Ř, ř (R with háček, pronunciation example:  "řeka" ) is used in the Czech, Silesian and Upper Sorbian alphabets.

Usage

In Czech it is used to denote [r̝], a raised alveolar trill. Its manner of articulation is similar to other alveolar trills but the tongue is raised; it is partially fricative. It is usually voiced but it also has a voiceless allophone [r̝̊] occurring in the vicinity of voiceless consonants.

In Upper Sorbian, it denotes the voiceless postalveolar fricative [ʃ].

In Silesian, it denotes the voiced retroflex fricative [ʐ], devoiced to [ʂ] in the vicinity of voiceless consonants.

Tongue twister

Czech: ”Tři sta třicet tři střibrných střikaček střikalo přes tři sta třicet tři střibrných střech.” ”333 silver squirts spurted water over 333 silver roofs”
