[edit] Pharyngeal plosives

Can someone please tell me why pharyngeal plosives are now thought to be impossible? --JorisvS 17:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
This question remains unanswered ... --JorisvS 18:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

• I'm a bit confused here too... from the description, the sound comes from moving the back of the tongue backwards to against the back of the throat, blocking the airflow temporarily and then releasing it. This is the same movement as coughing? --Firien ^{need help?} 15:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sounds

How helpful it would be if pages on such topics presented the actual sounds in sound files.
