The front articulation may be Coronal or, more rarely, Labial . The rear articulation has traditionally been thought to be Velar or, again more rarely, Uvular , but recent investigation of Nǀuu has revealed that the supposed velar-uvular distinction is actually one of a simple click versus a click-plosive airstream Contour , and that all rear articulations are uvular or even Pharyngeal . Even in languages without such a distinction, such as Xhosa , experiments have shown that when the click release is removed from a recording, the resulting sound is judged to be uvular, not velar. However, it is not known if other languages may have a velar articulation. |
