 Encyclopedia: Guttural R   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In linguistics, guttural R (throaty R or French R) refers to pronunciation of the phoneme R as a guttural consonant.
The guttural R is common in northern Europe, and is the usual form of the consonant R in most of what is now France, Belgium, Netherlands, northern Germany and Denmark.
The French language is perhaps the most well-known example of a guttural R language, to the extent that this pronunciation is widely stereotyped.

 Guttural Pouch Tympany - PetPlace.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The guttural pouches are rather splendid outpouchings of the eustachian tubes, the connection between the middle ear and the back of the oral cavity responsible for equilibrating pressures between the ear and our outside surroundings.
The distinctive outward bulging of the guttural pouches is often a dead giveaway.
If the guttural pouch tympany only affects one side (unilateral), then it may be possible to open the affected guttural pouch into the unaffected one, thus letting the air escape through the side that functions normally.

A guttural language is a language that contains guttural sounds these are produced from the pharynx at the back of the throat or by the back of the tongue as well as the palate and uvula.
By the speakers of so-called guttural languages it is probably percieved mostly as attempt of anglophones to consider themselves vastly superior to anyone else.
There is the guttural "r" (sounds like gargling), the "ch" or "ugh" (sounds like a clearing of the throat), "h" (sounds like a very heavy breath), the "a" or "e" (sound like air coming up the throat from a tight stomach).The "k", "c" (as a "k"),"q","ng" and "nk" are gutturals.

 Guttural consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In articulatory phonetics, the term guttural consonant is sometimes used to describe any of several consonantal speech sounds whose primary place of articulation is near the back of the oral cavity, specifically some velar consonants, uvular consonants, pharyngeal consonants, and epiglottal consonants (see for more information).
While the modern spoken English language contains several velar consonants, guttural consonants pronounced further back in the mouth and throat like the ones found in Arabic or Hebrew are often perceived as very alien.
Some English speakers find those sounds to be very hard on the ear (for example, J.R.R. Tolkien), an attitude not commonly shared by native speakers of Arabic or Hebrew.

I liked Guttural’s first album “Set Swords To Music” and had no intentions not to like this new one unless it sucked in a way no other record had sucked before.
Which might not be so strange seeing as the songs on this album (with the exception of the opening 16min track “The Fourlowing”) all have been written between 90-95, intended for a solo album by lead vocalist Ludovic that never happened.

 The Guttural Pouch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Some owners only become aware that the horse has anatomical structures called guttural pouches when their horse is diagnosed with a condition called guttural pouch mycosis.
Diseases of the guttural pouch are not common but when there is a problem it is most often due to a fungal infection, particularly of the organism Aspergillus spp.
Since the guttural pouches are located so close to blood vessels and some nerves, guttural pouch mycosis can become serious and in some cases devastating.

 Forward : ON LANGUAGE: Out of the Guttural @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
We ended last week's column, which began with the word "pachech," with a discussion of the different notations in various European languages for the guttural "kh"-sound and with the problem that this creates in transcribing Hebrew and Yiddish words containing the letters ???
With "h" and "ch" we run the risk that the non-Jewish, or even the unknowledgeable Jewish reader, will mispronounce them by giving them their normal English values.
But even with "kh," which has no normal English value, some readers will say "keder," and words that we are used to seeing with "h" or "ch" look downright strange when spelled with it, such as "Hanukkah" when written "Khanukkah."
