Tte ( Pashtun ټې t́ē ) is an Arabic letter that is part of the extended Arabic alphabet of the Pashtun language . It is derived from the Arabic letter Ta (ت) by adding a small circle called a pandak .

The sound value in Pashto is a voiceless retroflexer plosive ( IPA :  [ʈ] ). The Tte belongs next to Ddal (ډ) , Rre (ړ) and only (ڼ) to the letters of the Pashto script representing the retroflexed sounds . These phonemes do not appear in Arabic , so the letters were added to the original Arabic alphabet. Apart from the retroflex nasal, these phonemes also exist in a related form in Urdu , which also uses a modified Arabic script. There, however , the retroflex articulation site is not indicated by the pandak, but by a superscript small Ṭa (ط) is displayed.
