The "r" sound in Classical Quechua is pronounced as a trill or a flap, similar to the "r" in Spanish or Italian. However, the "q" sound in Quechua is a voiceless velar stop, similar to the "k" sound in English. The "ch" sound in Quechua is a voiceless postalveolar affricate, similar to the "ch" sound in English "church".
