arabic is considered one of the most guttural languages (that’s not to say it’s ugly, however; it can be quite s-xy actually), as it has seven guttural consonants, commonly transliterated as q, kh, gh, h-dot, reverse apostrophe, h and apostrophe (glottal stop). among european languages, german and dutch have both ch (= kh), r (= gh) and h; french also has a uvular r (= gh). modern greek has kh and gh, and spanish has j (= kh).

the constructed language klingon, from star trek, is intentionally very rough and guttural; it contains the sounds of arabic kh, gh, q and glottal stop, along with an affricate qkh.
