The voiced uvular tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.There is no dedicated symbol for this sound in the IPA. It can specified by adding a 'short' diacritic to the letter for the uvular plosive, (IPA|ɢ̆), but normally it is covered by the unmodified letter for the uvular trill, (IPA|ʀ),[1] since the two have never been reported to contrast.
The uvular tap or flap is not known to exist as a phoneme in any language.
More commonly, it is said to vary with the much more frequent uvular trill, and is most likely a single-contact trill pronounced as /[ʀ̆]/ rather than an actual tap or flap pronounced as /[ɢ̆]/ in these languages.
