The Klingon {Q} is a uvular affricate, represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet as [qχ]
Thanks for this wonderful explanation. I just like to add two things: a) You can easily describe {Q} in Klingon as {q} + {H}. b) When teaching the sound to German students, I usually really say that it's the same as KR, because in most German dialects, this is really very identical to the Q-sound. I usually need to mention that there are regions which do speak "K+R" seperately, so that doesn't count in that case. -- Lieven L.
