Foundational story

	ooBdoo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Uvulars are consonants articulated with the back of the tongue against or near the uvula, that is, further back in the mouth than velar consonants.
		They may be plosives, fricatives, nasal stops, trills, or approximants, though the IPA does not provide a separate symbol for the approximant, and the symbol for the voiced fricative is used instead.
		The voiceless uvular plosive is transcribed as [q] in both the IPA and SAMPA.

	Stop Consonant Encyclopedia Article @ Thereupon.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
		The term plosive is reserved for oral (non-nasal) stops: that is, stops with a release burst.
		Initial voiceless plosives, like the p in pie, are aspirated, with a palpable puff of air upon release, while a plosive after an s, as in spy, is tenuous.

		The voiceless uvular plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its manner of articulation is plosive or stop, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
		Its place of articulation is uvular which means it is articulated with the back of the tongue (the dorsum) against or near the uvula.

	Uvular - KneeQuickie
		Uvular consonants are those articulated using the uvula, a small lump of flesh at the back of the throat.
		Most uvular consonants are produced by moving the back of the tongue towards the uvula, but there is also a uvular trill, in which the uvula is made to vibrate.
		Uvular consonants are much rarer than velars; most languages that have them have just a couple.

		The voiceless uvular fricative is similar to the voiceless velar fricative, except that it is articulated on the uvula.
		The uvular trill is used in certain dialects (especially those associated with European capitals) of French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish and Norwegian, as well as Hebrew, for the rhotic phoneme.
		In many of these it has a uvular fricative (either voiced or voiceless) as an allophone when it follows one of the voiceless stops,, or at the end of a word, as in maÃ®tre..

	The International Phonetic Alphabet
		If the plosive is the first phone pronounced, then there is no attack: if the plosive is voiced, it starts with a vibration of the vocal cords, and if it is voiceless it simply starts with the release.
		The release is usually the most audible part of the plosive, and it is for this reason that final plosives tend to vanish, especially voiceless ones (their release is suppressed, and then the entire plosive is reduced to very little).
		In the case of a voiceless plosive, this is merely a period of silence.

		Most uvular consonants are either stops or fricatives, but a very small number of languages use them as nasals, trills, or approximants.
		The voiceless uvular plosive is expressed as [q] in most transliteration schemes, including the IPA and SAMPA, and is pronounced similarly to the voiceless velar plosive [k], but with the middle of one's tongue against the soft uvula rather than the velum.

	q - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		The Semitic sound value of Qp was /q/ (voiceless uvular plosive).
		In Greek this sign (called Qoppa in Greek) probably came to represent several labialized velar plosives, among them /k_w/ and /k_w_h/.
		In phonetics, lowercase q is the International Phonetic Alphabet symbol for the voiceless uvular plosive.

		Russian and other Slavic languages have words that begin with [15], which can be seen in the name of the Dnieper River.
		In English, however, initial voiced plosives like [16] or [17] are only partially voiced, meaning that voicing picks up sometime during the occlusion.
		Aspirated stops have a voice onset time greater than zero, so that there is a period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic) before the onset of the vowel.

	James Tauber : James Tauber's Blog 2005/11/04
		A uvular plosive is produced like a velar plosive (English 'k') but with the back of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth further back.
		'k' is a common transcription for velar plosives and 'q' is a common transcription for uvular plosives.
		So Iraq is spelled with a 'q' because the final consonant is a uvular plosive and not a velar plosive (even though English speakers pronounce it as if it were a velar plosive).

	Phonology
		This might tend to be rejected as unprecedented, but the "letter shape" is surely appropriate, and the voiceless uvular plosive [q] is right next to the voiced velar plosive [g] in any case.
		For better or worse, uvular phonemes have mostly disappeared from popular usage in these Western languages.
		For instance, the word "queen" is now almost universally pronounced as "kween" rather than with the original uvular plosive, so the symbol [q] has become redundant and might as well be otherwise employed.

	Pronunciation
		So uvular sounds or only used when they are closed to back vowels (not in all dialects), because they are too much effort otherwise.
		They were chosen to get a set of easy to pronounce vowels that are distinguishable easily (they are separated far enough from each other), to keep the lips out of duty and to keep movement of the jaw as small as possible.
		Also note that single plosive mora tend to be devoiced and sometimes aspirated, depending on dialect.

	- Dictionary
		A 'bi-labial plosive' is made with the lips (Latin labia): examples are 'p' and 'b'; a 'dental plosive' is made by blocking the passage of air with the tongue and the teeth ('d', 't'); an 'uvular' plosive is made right at the back of the throat ('q', 'g').
		This is the distinction between 'b' (in saying which you have to make a sound as well as simply letting the air escape between your lips; hence it is 'voiced') and 'p' (in saying which you do not have to make a sound; hence it is termed 'unvoiced').
		Similarly 't' is an unvoiced dental plosive; 'd' is a voiced dental plosive.

		Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally only used in languages where these sounds are phonemic, that is, not analyzed into sequences of plosive stop consonant plus nasal stop.
		Initial voiceless plosives, like the p in pie, are aspirated, with a palpable puff of air upon release, while a plosive after an s, as in spy, is tenuis.
		If you speak near a candle flame, you will see that the flame will flicker more when you say pie, tie, chi than when you say spy, sty, sky.

	LISTSERV 14.4
		It is the "qaaf" phoneme that sounds as an affricate instead of the (usual) uvular plosive.
		In the same region, one may hear another unusual sound : an ejective uvular fricative, instead of the usual uvular/velar voiced fricative sound for the "ghayn" phoneme.
		The special point in Southern Arabia is that there is also some laryngeal ejection with the affricate, as it is widely the case in the Arabic dialects with the regular plosive "qaaf".

	LISTSERV 14.4
		I believe that plain uvular (or postvelar- descriptions vary) affricates also occur allophonically in some Papuan New Guinea languages, but cannot put my hands on specific examples.
		One last example is Wolof in Senegal which has a uvular fricative that has an affricate allophone (word initial I believe).
		So the uvular affricate would be an allophone of the velar affricate as is in other dialect the palatal one.

	Q - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Semitic sound value of Qôp (perhaps originally qaw cord, and possibly based on an Egyptian hieroglyph) was /q/ (voiceless uvular plosive), a sound common to Semitic languages, but not found in English or most Indo-European ones.
		(In Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Occitan and French, qu replaces c for /k/ before front vowels i and e, since in those contexts c is a fricative and letter 'k' is seldom used outside loan words.) In the Aymara, Azeri, Uzbek, Quechua, and Tatar languages, Q is a voiceless uvular plosive.
		[q] is also used in IPA for the voiceless uvular plosive, as well as in most transliteration schemes of Semitic languages for the "emphatic" qop sound.

		Here it is the uvular that is ejective, not the palatal click release, and the IPA convention of writing is misleading.
		Regardless, elements which do not overlap with the release are always written accordingly: The prenasalization is always written first in =, and the second ejective is always written afterwards in =.
		These are ''bilabial affricated'', or "bilabial"; ''laminal denti-alveolar affricated'', or "dental"; ''apical (post)alveolar plosive'', or "alveolar"; ''laminal postalveolar (palato-alveolar) plosive'', or "palatal"; ''subapical postalveolar (retroflex)'' (rare); and two lateral clicks, which in the only language known to distinguish them are ''laminal denti-alveolar lateral'' and ''apical postalveolar lateral''.
