:
Pharyngeal speech involves using the pharynx as the primary source of airflow and a replacement for the glottis to produce sounds. The tongue, upper alveolus, palate, uvula or pharyngeal wall can be used to create these sounds.
Production:
Individuals using pharyngeal speech can draw air into the pharynx and manipulate it with the uvula and other structures to create a variety of sounds. This can involve constricting the pharynx or using other movements to modify the airflow.
Characteristics:
Pharyngeal speech can have a low pitched voice quality, and it can be difficult to produce certain sounds, consonant clusters, or polysyllabic words according to a study on a patient using pharyngeal speech. Intelligibility can also be a challenge, especially for those not familiar with the speaker. In puberphonia still a good vocal cords are there. All the disadvantages can be compensated
