Deobandi is a term that refers to a conservative and traditionalist movement within Sunni Islam, particularly in South Asia. It emerged in the 19th century as a response to British colonial rule and the perceived corruption and liberalization of Islamic practices. Deobandis are known for their strict adherence to traditional Islamic jurisprudence, their rejection of innovation (bid'a) and their emphasis on the importance of adherence to Islamic law. They are also often characterized by their anti-Shia sentiments and their opposition to Sufism and modern Islamic movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood. The Deobandi movement has had a significant impact on Islamic thought and practice in South Asia and has given rise to various interpretations and sub-movements.

Deobstruents can also include sounds like /l/ and /r/, which are produced by placing the tongue behind the teeth and allowing air to flow through the gap.
