A '''voiced uvular fricative''' is a type of [[consonant]]al sound, used in some [[Speech communication|spoken]] [[language]]s. The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|ʁ}}, an inverted small uppercase letter {{angbr IPA|ʀ}}, or in [[broad transcription]] {{angbr IPA|r}} if [[Rhotic consonant|rhotic]]. This consonant is one of the several collectively called [[guttural R]] when found in European languages.

A '''voiced uvular approximant''' is also found [[Complementary distribution|interchangeably]] with the fricative, and may also be transcribed as {{angbr IPA|ʁ}}. Because the IPA symbol stands for the uvular fricative, the [[approximant]] may be specified by adding the [[lowered (phonetics)|downtack]]: {{angbr IPA|ʁ̞}}, though some writings<ref>Such as {{Harvcoltxt|Krech et al.|2009}}.</ref> use a superscript {{angbr IPA|ʶ}}, which is not an official IPA practice.

For a '''voiced pre-uvular fricative''' (also called '''post-velar'''), see [[voiced velar fricative]].

==Features==
Features of a voiced uvular fricative:

{{fricative}} In many languages it is closer to an [[approximant consonant|approximant]], however, and no language distinguishes the two at the uvular articulation.

{{voiced}}
{{oral}}
{{Median articulation}}
{{pulmonic}}

==Occurrence==

In Western Europe, a [[Voiced uvular trill|uvular trill]] pronunciation of rhotic consonants spread from northern [[French language|French]] to several dialects and [[Register (sociolinguistics)|registers]] of [[Basque language|Basque]],<ref name="Basque">''Grammar of Basque'', [https://books.google.com/books?id=Kss999lxKm0C&pg=PA30 page 30], [[José Ignacio Hualde]], Jon Ortiz De Urbina, [[Walter de Gruyter]], 2003</ref> [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Danish language|Danish]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[German language|German]], [[Judaeo-Spanish]], [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]], [[Occitan language|Occitan]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Swedish language|Swedish]], some variants of [[Low German|Low Saxon]],<ref>Ph Bloemhoff-de Bruijn, Anderhalve Eeuw Zwols Vocaalveranderingsprocessen in de periode 1838-1972. IJsselacademie (2012). {{ISBN|978-90-6697-228-5}}</ref> and [[Yiddish language|Yiddish]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=King |first1=Robert D. |last2=Beach |first2=Stephanie A. |title=On the Origins of German Uvular [R]: The Yiddish Evidence |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-germanic-linguistics/article/abs/on-the-origins‑of‑german‑uvular‑r‑the‑yiddish‑evidence/AEA156075DF39B5E557B6 |journal=Journal of Germanic Linguistics |volume=10 |issue=2 |pages=279‑290 |doi=10.1017/S1040820700002365}}</ref> However, not all of them remain a uvular trill today.
In [[Brazilian Portuguese]], it is usually a velar fricative ({{IPAblink|x}}, {{IPAblink|ɣ}}), [[voiceless uvular fricative]] {{IPA|[χ]}}, or glottal transition ({{IPAblink|h}}, {{IPAblink|ɦ}}), except in southern Brazil, where alveolar and uvular trills as well as the voiced uvular fricative predominate. Because such uvular [[rhotic consonant|rhotics]] often do not contrast with alveolar ones, IPA transcriptions may often use {{angbr|r}} to represent them for ease of typesetting. For more information, see [[guttural R]].

{{Harvcoltxt|Ladefoged|Maddieson|1996}} note, "There is... a complication in the case of uvular fricatives in that the shape of the vocal tract may be such that the uvula vibrates."<ref>{{Harvcoltxt|Ladefoged|Maddieson|1996|p=167}}</ref>

It is also present in most [[Turkic languages]], except for [[Turkish language|Turkish]], and in [[Caucasian languages]]. It may also occur as [[ɣ]].

|Unlike many of Turkic dialects that have solely adapted the pronunciation of <r> into a [[voiced alveolar trill]], these dialects often use voiced uvular fricative or they might use [[close-mid back unrounded vowel]] almost entirely in their speeches as an equivalent of r. it also has to be noted that this is not the same as [[voiced velar fricative]] which is to be resembled with [[ğ]] .
