Uvular flap

The uvular 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, $\langle\rangle$, but normally it is covered by the unmodified letter for the uvular trill, $\langle\rangle$, since the two have never been reported to contrast.

The uvular 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 rather than an actual flap in these languages. (The primary difference between a flap and a trill is the airstream, not the number of contacts.)
