TakeOn the Konstanz University site there is a look at this:project, DAS GRAMMATISCHE RARITÄTENKABINETT, "a leisurely collection to entertain and instruct". There we find http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/rara/nav/browse.php?number=9an entry on the Dravidian language "Toda" with these notes:

Phenomenon | apical trills at three places of articulation (fronted alveolar, alveolar, retroflex) (see Image), both without and with palatalization

The language is Toda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toda_languageToda has a Wikipedia entry , I hope this helpswith more information. These are the six listed trills:

  • /r̘/ - plain apical alveolar trill
  • /r̘ʲ/ - palatized apical alveolar tril
  • /r̠/ - plain apical alveolar trill (concave, aka "retroflex")
  • /r̠ʲ/ - palatized apical alveolar trill (concave, aka "retroflex")
  •   `/ɽ͡r/` - plain subapical palatal trill (retroflex)
    
  • /ɽ͡rʲ/ - palatized subapical palatal trill (retroflex)
