Retroflexation in Yuanshi Dialect are featured with the fusion of [·](ER)with retroflex and lateral sound(opened-mouth, closed-mouth),changing them into [k⌒], [k‘⌒], [x⌒] and [],respectively,or make them syllabized consonants. Besides,[], [‘], [] and [l] may also be found rhotacized into [k⌒], [k‘⌒], [x⌒] with different levels of velarization and [] in the south of Hebei province. Complex consonants such as [k⌒], [k‘⌒], [x⌒] and [k⌒], [k⌒‘], [x⌒] are double-site “velar-retroflex”,whose different strength of velar and retroflex shows a relationship that is bi-directional opposite and continuous change. Furthermore, those complex consonants correspond with [],[],the rhotacized form of[], [l],demonstrating a kind of parallelism in their departing and joining. All these features,especially the correlation between syllablization and [-] coda,as well as the correlation between stability of syllablization and opened-mouth,closed-mouth, have significance in understanding the cause and process of this kind of complex consonants and syllabized consonants.
