In isolation, I can do what I believe is an sublamino-velar trill (it's
against the soft bit of the upper side of the mouth - that's the velum,
right?). Now, putting it into continuous speech would be quite a challenge,
and I might just have an unusually agile tongue. But a freaklang, presumably,
is spoken by freaks, which surely might gave rather exotically fashioned oral
cavities.
