Fricatives (or spirants) are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.
This phenomenon of unpaired voiced fricatives is scattered throughout the world, but is confined to nonsibilant fricatives with the exception of a couple of languages which have [ʒ] but lack [ʃ] (it is worth noting that several languages have the voiced affricate [dʒ] but lack [tʃ]).
The fricatives which occur most often without a voiceless counterpart are, in order of ratio of unpaired occurrences to total occurrences, [ʝ], [β], [ð], [ʁ] and [ɣ].

  Voiceless uvular fricative - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The voiceless uvular fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
Its phonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.

 Voiceless palatal fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The voiceless palatal fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its place of articulation is palatal which means it is articulated with the middle or back part of the tongue raised against the hard palate.
Palatal fricatives are rare phonemes and only 5% of the world's languages have/ç/ as a phoneme (Ladefoged and Maddieson, 1996).

 Voiceless Palatal-velar Fricative
The voiceless palatal-velar fricative (also '''voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative''', '''voiceless postalveolar and velar fricative''', '''voiceless coarticulated velar and palatoalveolar fricative''') is a term used for a range of similar sounds used in most dialect s of Swedish to realize the phoneme IPA/ɧ/.
--- palatal and velar, meaning it is articulated simultaneously with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) approximating velum and the hard palate, and usually described as pronounced with rounded or protruding lips.
The sound in question is one variant of the pronunciation of the phonological element IPA[ʃ], which is highly variable in Swedish dialects, receiving pronunciations ranging from a palatalized bilabial sound to a velarized palato-alveolar one to a fully velar one.

 Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative or laminal postalveolar fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is produced by directing air flow through a groove in the tongue at the place of articulation and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.
Its place of articulation is alveolo-palatal, that is, palatalized laminal postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the body of the tongue raised toward the palate.

 L503: Examination 1
For the bilabial position there is a voiceless stop and a nasal, for the alveolar, a voiced stop and a fricative, and for the velar, a voiceless stop and a voiced stop.
Voiceless stop consonants can be identified acoustically by examining the frequencies of the formants that occur during the production of the consonants.
Voiceless and voiced consonants such as [k] and [g], when they appear at the beginning of a syllable, differ in voice onset time, that is, with respect to the relative timing of the start of voicing and the release of the closure.

There is a large degree of freedom in the articulation of open vowels and it is certainly possible to imagine vowels even more open than [a], for example (although such vowels would probably not be phonologically distinct from the "standard" open vowels of the fourth degree of aperture.
The corresponding consonant is the voiceless palatal fricative (hisser).

An interesting thing is that the voiceless palatal fricative is disappearing from many Norwegian dialects right now and it is being replaced with the voiceless postalveolar fricative, /sh/.

 LINGUIST List 4.356: Velar palatalization
Coleman walks us through a series of steps, which appear to be summarizable as (1) palatal assimilation of k before i or j followed by (2) strengthening of aspiration and (3) reanalysis of this highly aspirated palatalized velar as a voiceless palatal affricate (or fricative).
Coleman observes that "The distinction between an [i]-coloured aspiration portion [of a palatalized velar plosive] and a voiceless palatal fricative [C] (IPA c-cedilla) is largely a matter of duration and air pressure.
And the evidence suggests that this particular shift in articulatory target, unlike others that appear in allophonic alternations, necessarily results in (or is motivated by) the emergence of a new vpa phoneme, employable in the underlying articulatory representations of lexical items in just the way the phoneme k is employed.

 ENGL 290: Answer Key Language Files Ch. 3
The nasal passage is closed off at the back of the mouth, so that air cannot escape through the nose, so the sound is not nasal.
The mouth is closed (therefore the sound is a stop) by the back of the tongue pressing up against the back of the roof of the mouth (this makes the sound velar).
Therefore, the sound is a voiceless velar stop--in the consonant chart this is identified as [ k ].

Now, to the modern Greek ear, [v] is a soft sound (a “fricative” in linguistics), sort of smooth and gentle, while [b] is a hard one (a “plosive”), kind of rough and crass.
palatalization, [ghe] sounds a bit like “ye” in “yes”, and [ghi] sounds a bit like “yi” in “yield”.
Such sounds are all the postalveolar fricatives and postalveolar affricates ([sh] as in “shop”, [Z] as in “pleasure”, [ch] as in “church”, and [dZ] as in “job”).
