Languages with Pharyngeal Consonants

0 of 500 languages in database (0%)

Pharyngeal consonants are articulated by constricting the pharynx — the passage at the back of the throat. The voiced and voiceless pharyngeal fricatives (ʕ and ħ) are strongly associated with Semitic languages like Arabic and Hebrew, and also appear in languages of the Caucasus and some Indigenous American languages.
