  Voiceless uvular plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

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 fricative [χ] is similar to the voiceless velar fricative [x], except that it is articulated on the uvula.

 How to pronounce Hebrew
Labiovelar approximant w This pronounciation is attested among Yemenites, and is the more plausible by the use of waw as a mater lectionis for shuruq and holam.
Voiceless retroflex plosive This admittedly is a tricky one - the other contender was voiceless pharyngealized dental plosive, analagous to sade, but I couldn't pronounce it (so I'm not perfect!).
Voiceless labiodental fricative f Although (as for beth) the more logical choice might have been the unvoiced bilabial fricative (as Ancient Greek "phi"), this is not at all attested in Hebrew; all modern pronounciations have /f/ (except Babylonian which has aspirated /p/, but this seems borrowed, since no other Semitic languages use aspiration).

fricative) is voiced in the former and voiceless in the latter.
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.

 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 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.
Notable for their absence from the suggested Lang25 phonology are the common English phonemes /θ/ and /ð/ (/dh/ and /th/) the voiced and voiceless dental fricatives - as in "the" and "thin".

The term plosive is reserved for oral (non-nasal) stops: that is, stops with a release burst.
Plosives are commonly voiceless, whereas nasal stops are only rarely so.
Aspirated stops have a voice onset time greater than zero, so that there is a period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic [h]) before the onset of the vowel.

In the case of plosives, the released airflow produces a sudden impulse causing an audible sound (hence the name plosive).

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.

In different variations of a certain lexical root, a root consonant might exist in plosive form in one variation and fricative form in another.
Sometimes a dot is placed above the letter (qûššāyâ, or strengthening; equivalent to a dagesh in Hebrew) to mark that the plosive pronunciation is required, and a dot is placed below the letter (rûkkāḵâ, or softening) to mark that the fricative pronunciation is required.
These are consonants that are articulated or released in the pharynx or slightly higher.

Each member of a certain pair is written with the same letter of the alphabet in most writing systems (that is, p and f are written with the same letter), and are near allophones.
