These four sounds and others all tend to overlap in one language or another at the phonemic level. | |

I seem to recall that in Brazilian Portuguese "rr" has a sound like Spanish "x"/"j". Another romance language with lots of Arabic influence was Sardinian, so it might be worth looking at. Also /x/ differs from the more mundane seeming /ɣ/ mostly by voicing so that could also be interesting to investigate.

| Feb 17, 2012 at 12:31 | comment | added | Tomas | Also note that in Galego (and maybe in Catalan) and Portuguese the spanish /x/ is usually (or in all cases) also written x (Xacobeo, caixa) but the pronunciation is little different (like english "sh"). | |
