	Uvular trill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The uvular trill is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its manner of articulation is trill, which means it is produced by vibrations of the articulator (in this case, the uvula).
		Its place of articulation is uvular, which means that it is the uvula which does the vibrating.

	Guttural R - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Belgium (Flemish), the usual R is an alveolar trill, but uvular R does occur, mostly in the province of Limburg, in the region around Ghent and in Brussels.

		Trill (popularly known as rolled r): The airstream is interrupted several times as one of the organs of speech (usually the tip of the tongue or the uvula) vibrates, closing and opening the air passage.
		If a trill is made with the tip of the tongue against the upper gum, we speak of an apical (tongue-tip) alveolar trill.
		Uvular or velar approximant or fricative: The back of the tongue approaches the soft palate or the uvula.

	Trill consonant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In phonetics, a trill is a consonantal sound produced by vibrations between the articulator and the place of articulation.
		Whereas with a flap (or tap), a specific gesture is used to strike the active articulator against the passive one, in the case of a trill the articulator is held in place, where the airstream causes it to vibrate.
		Epiglottal consonants are often allophonically trilled, and in some languages the trill is the primary realization of the consonant.

	Uvular - KutjaraWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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 uvular R could not have become general till the 18th century and did not, apparently, become general in Parisian speech till the beginning of the 19th century.
