In phonetics, uvular is a place of articulation where the passive articulator is the uvula. A uvular can also be a specific consonant made at that place of articulation.

Examples

[q], [ɢ], [χ], [ʁ]. The uvular trill [ʀ] is used in French and many other European languages. English has no uvular phonemes.
