UVULAR TRILL

The 'uvular trill' is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is , a small capital R. The equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is R. This consonant is one of several collectively called guttural R. Within Europe, the uvular trill seems to have originated in French, from where it spread to modern Standard German, most German dialects, some Dutch dialects, some northern Italian dialects, and the southern dialects of Swedish and Norwegian. Speakers may also have a uvular pronunciation of their language's rhotic consonant if it is difficult or impossible to pronounce an alveolar trill. See guttural R for more information.
