The voiced uvular plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɢ , a small capital version of the Latin letter g, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is G\. [ɢ] is a rare sound, even compared to other uvulars. [1]

In many of these it has a uvular fricative (either voiced [ʁ] or voiceless [χ]) as an allophone when it follows one of the voiceless stops /p/, /t/, or /k/ at the end of a word, as in the French example maître [mɛtχ], or even a uvular approximant [ʁ̞].
pharyngealized voiceless uvular stop [qˤ] (in Ubykh, Tsakhur, and Archi) pharyngealized voiced uvular stop [ɢˤ] (in Tsakhur) pharyngealized glottal stop [ʔˤ] (in Shihhi Arabic; allophonic in Chechen) pharyngealized voiceless velar plosive [kˤ] (in Kurmanji) pharyngealized voiced velar plosive [ɡˤ] (in Sorani [4])
Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive. Its place of articulation is uvular, which means it is articulated with the back of the tongue (the dorsum) at the uvula. Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
The duration between the release of the plosive and the voice onset is called the voice onset time (VOT) or the aspiration interval. Highly aspirated plosives have a long period of aspiration, so that there is a long period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic [h] ) before the onset of the vowel.
Either letter, whether baseline or superscript, is usually placed before the click letter, but may come after when the release of the velar or uvular occlusion is audible. A third convention is the click letter with diacritics for voicelessness, voicing and nasalization; it does not distinguish velar from uvular labial clicks.
The voiced uvular tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.There is no dedicated symbol for this sound in the IPA.It can specified by adding a 'short' diacritic to the letter for the uvular plosive, ɢ̆ , but normally it is covered by the unmodified letter for the uvular trill, ʀ , [1] since the two have never been reported to contrast.
