guttural vs. laryngeal

The term guttural originally referred to articulation in the back of the mouth, but has been replaced as a linguistic term due to the linguistically-inaccurate sense that developed and crowded out the original sense. The term laryngeal refers to the voice box or Adam's apple, which is quite a ways down the throat from the mouth. They're not at all synonymous. The use of laryngeal in Indo-European linguistics is a misnomer that became the standard term before anyone had any idea what the sounds in question might be. At least one of the Proto-Indo-European laryngeals was probably guttural in the original sense of the word, but that has nothing to do with the meaning of laryngeal outside of PIE studies.

I didn’t want to imply they’re synonymous, just related. guttural could mention all modern phonetic terms it encompasses. Crissov (talk) 09:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
