Re: [lojban] Re: nice sound for lojban "r"

[Sid <cntrational@gmail.com>]

re: tsani -- I'm told that some French dialects/accents use [χ] (the voiceless
uvular fricative) for the French ‹r›, which would indeed be Lojban {x}
-- but some other dialects/accents use [ʁ] (the voiced uvular
fricative), which is indeed {r}. The latter is probably what buroq has
in mind.

Also, as a side note regarding the "beauty" of the French r -- I was
told a story that once French tried to replace the French r with /z/,
because they felt the sound was too ugly. This obviously didn't pan
out, but it did affect a handful of words -- that's why the French use
"chaise", instead of the original "chaire" (which was borrowed into
English as "chair"). The more you know.
