Guttural
Guttural speech sounds are those with a primary place of articulation near the back of the oral cavity. In some definitions, this is restricted to pharyngeal consonants, but in others includes some but not all velar and uvular consonants. Guttural sounds are typically consonants, but some vowels articulations may also be considered guttural in nature.
