The voiced uvular fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʁ , an inverted small uppercase letter ʀ , or in broad transcription r if rhotic .
Either an approximant or a fricative. See Norwegian phonology: Southwestern dialects: Portuguese: European [27] rarear [ʀɐɾiˈaɾ] 'to get scarcer' Alternates with other uvular forms and the older alveolar trill.

[6] In many dialects, this voiceless sound not only replaces all occurrences of the traditional trill, but is also used for all r that is not followed by a vowel (i.e. when at ...

[1] These may be the lower lip against the upper teeth, in the case of [f]; the back of the tongue against the soft palate in the case of German [x] (the final consonant of Bach); or the side of the tongue against the molars, in the case of Welsh [ɬ] (appearing twice in ...
