message: The page is full of technical jargon that may mean something to someone, somewhere.  But, to someone like me, who came to this page to get an idea of what a uvular approximant might actually sound like, it's absolutely useless, and worse, completely opaque.  It provides absolutely no information to someone who is not versed in linguistics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.2.72 (talk) 01:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is already a sound sample. Is that not helpful? Could it be that you wanted a description that tells a layperson how to pronounce it? — Sebastian 21:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I understand what you mean, but if you want the IPA to be any help to you, it helps to read a bit about the basics. I had to read a couple pages about linguistics terms before I was able to understand what anything meant. Why write lengthy, inexact (and perhaps unclear) explanations when you can use technical vocabulary and be precise and clear without taking up too much space?

message: I liked the addition by the IP editor from the University of Queensland and regret that it has been reverted. I brought the matter up on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Phonetics#Revert war about formatting. — Sebastian 21:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ordering by number of fricatives

message: Spanish spoken in Spain, specially in Madrid, uses almost always the allophone /χ/ instead of /x/, and the allophone of /g/, /ɣ/, begins to be pronounced as an approximate /ʁ/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.137.183.210 (talk) 18:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I've read, Castilian Spanish has  as an allophone of  before .  I've never heard that  is lenited to a uvular approximant.  Do you have a source?  — Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 19:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Both sample audio files are for the voiced uvular fricative! A sample audio file for the uvular approximant will be of great help. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.31.105.128 (talk) 05:03, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Addition to Occurrence List 

message: I tried many times, pronouncing as said on the wiki and read it many times all to verify.
But the audio sounds more like a [v]. Is it just me or is it really wrong?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suttiwit (talk • contribs) 15:21, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like that to me, too, although it could also be [β]. It seems highly unlikely that it's the correct sound file; if it is, then why doesn't [χ] sound like [f] or [ɸ]? All the information on the file's Wikimedia page seems to indicate that it's the right file, though, so I don't know. Zgialor (talk) 23:14, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what you're hearing, but it sounds clearly uvular and clearly a fricative to me. --JorisvS (talk) 17:38, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong audio? 

message: I am new here and do not yet know how to edit, but have noticed a major error.  
The symbol is an upside down capital R when it should be an inverted capital R.  I checked the NON mobile wiktionary site and that site has the proper symbol.  The mobile site has it wrong, both on the page specific to the symbol and on the IPA consonant chart. TZilla28 (talk) 01:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

message: OK! the phoneme is “/ɣ/”, but allphone is “[ʁ̞]”. You forget to fill “◌̞” for “[ʁ]”. Juidzi (talk) 07:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
