	Uvular consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Uvular consonants are found in many African and Middle-Eastern languages, most notably Arabic, and in Native American languages.
		The voiceless uvular fricative [χ] is similar to the voiceless velar fricative [x], except that it is articulated on the uvula.

		Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.
		A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a closure or stricture of the vocal tract sufficient to cause audible turbulence.

		The word consonant comes from Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, butonly occur with a nearby vowel, which is the case in Latin.
		Consonant letters in the English alphabet areB, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z, and sometimes Y— the letter Y stands for the consonant [j] in "yoke" but for the vowel [i] in "myth", for example.
		The phonation method of a consonant is whether or not the vocal cords are vibrating during articulation of a consonant.

		The word consonant comes from Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but only occur with a nearby vowel, although this conception of consonants does not reflect a modern linguistic understanding of consonants, which defines consonants in terms of vocal tract constrictions.
		There are a group of consonants called sonorants that sometimes act as vowels, occupying the peak of a syllable, and sometimes act as consonants.
		Since the number of consonants in the world's languages is much greater than the number of consonant letters in most alphabets, linguists have devised systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique symbol to each possible consonant.

		In the cases of vowel pairs the first vowel is a spread vowel, where the corners of the mouth are held far apart, and the second is a rounded vowel, where the lips are held in an "o" shape.
		With consonant pairs, the first is unvoiced (no vocal cord vibration), the second is voiced, said exactly the same way, but with the vocal cords vibrating.
		Uvular Consonant, the very back of the tongue is raised toward the soft palate.

		Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
		In phonetics, alveolo-palatal (or alveopalatal) consonants are palatalized postalveolar fricatives, articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the body of the tongue raised toward the palate.
		However, aspirated consonants are not always followed by vowels or other voiced sounds; indeed, in Eastern, aspiration is contrastive even at the ends of words: English voiceless stops are aspirated when they begin a stressed syllable, as in pen, ten, Ken, but this is not distinctive.

		The unvoiced uvular stop is expressed as "q" in most transliteration schemes, and is pronounced like a "k" with the middle of one's tongue against the soft uvula rather than the velum.
		It sounds similar to the "kh" (represented in IPA as "x") in Spanish, German, Russian, or Arabic, except that it is articulated on the uvula.

		Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the middle or backpart of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of theroof of the mouth).
		Consonants with other primary articulations may be palatalised, that is, accompanied by the raising of the tonguesurface towards the hard palate.
		For example, English [ʃ;] (spelled sh) has such a palatal component, although its primary articulation involves the tip of thetongue and the upper gum (this type of articulation is called palatoalveolar).

		Its place of articulation is uvular which means it is articulated with the back of the tongue (the dorsum) against or near the uvula.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.
		The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.

		Thus, it refers to a pronounced or heavy sound (sound: The sudden occurrence of an audible event) that emanates from the pharynx and up from the back of the throat and has a certain kind of very heavy and pronounced "throaty" quality.

		Template:Place of articulation In phonetics, a bilabial consonant is a consonant articulated with both lips.
		However, because these consonants cannot appear at the end of words in Japanese either, they are usually followed in Sino-Japanese by an additional "i" or "u" vowel (as a result, a one-syllable word in Chinese can become two syllables in Japanese).
		The Chinese "hu" consonant sound (as in "huý" or "huī") does not exist in Japanese and is usually omitted, whereas the Chinese "l" sound becomes "r" in Japanese.

	Interdental consonant : Interdental consonant
		This differs from a dental consonant in that the tip of the tongue is placed between the upper and lower front teeth, and therefore may articulate with both the upper and lower incisors, while a dental consonant is articulated with the tongue against the back of the front incisors.
		Although this articulatory configuration is by no means exotic in the sense that it involves the tongue blade and the upper incisors, both frequently employed in the formation of other consonants, interdental realisations of consonants are rare cross-linguistically.
		Interdental realisations of otherwise dental consonants do appear to be more frequent as idiosyncrasies or due to coarticulatory effects of a neighbouring interdental sound.
