The word "kandu v" is a Malayalam term that is spelled with the consonant "n" in the middle. The "n" in this word is pronounced as a retroflex nasal consonant, which is denoted in IPA phonetic transcription as [ɳ]. The retroflex nasal consonant is formed by curling the tongue back and raising the tip of the tongue towards the hard palate. This unique pronunciation distinguishes "kandu v" from other words that may be spelled with the consonant "n" but have a different pronunciation, such as "kan du".
