Uvular–epiglottal consonant

{{Short description|Consonant that is doubly articulated at the uvula and the epiglottis}}

A uvular–epiglottal consonant is a doubly articulated consonant pronounced by making a simultaneous uvular consonant and epiglottal consonant. An example is the Somali "uvular" plosive {{IPA|/q/}}, which is a voiceless uvular–epiglottal plosive {{IPA|[q͜ʡ]}}, as in {{IPA|[q͜ʡíìq͜ʡ]}} 'to emit smoke'.{{cite report |last1=Edmondson |first1=Jerold A. |last2=Esling |first2=John H. |last3=Harris |first3=Jimmy G. |title=Supraglottal cavity shape, linguistic register, and other phonetic features of Somali |url=http://ling.uta.edu/~jerry/somali.pdf |access-date=2020-11-21 |archive-date=2012-03-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315001803/http://ling.uta.edu/~jerry/somali.pdf |url-status=dead}}
