Uvular speech for puberphonia
Uvular speech refers to consonant sounds produced by the back of the tongue (dorsum) against or near the uvula. Uvular sounds can be stops, fricatives, affricates, trills, or nasals.
Role in Speech:
The uvula helps in the articulation of certain sounds, particularly guttural sounds. It works with the soft palate to seal the nasal passage and direct airflow through the mouth, which is essential for producing specific phonetic sounds.
