In phonetics, a trill is a consonantal sound produced by vibrations between the articulator and the place of articulation. Spanish <rr> as in perro is an alveolar trill, while the Portuguese <rr> is almost always uvular.
Trill consonants:
- [r] - alveolar trill
- [ʙ] - bilabial trill
- [ʀ] - uvular trill
The bilabial trill is uncommon. One other trill has been reported: epiglottal consonants are often allophonically trilled, and in some languages the trill is the primary realization of the consonant. There is no official symbol for this in the IPA, but occasionally a small capital [Я] will be used.
The Czech language has two contrastive alveolar trills. In one of these the tongue is raised, so that there is audible friction during the trill, sounding rather like a simultaneous [r] and [ʒ]. A symbol for this sound, [ɼ], has been dropped from the IPA. It is now generally transcribed as a raised r, [r̝].
