A system, practice, or characteristic feature relating to guttural sounds or throat-based articulation in speech or music.
From 'guttural' + the noun-forming suffix '-ism' (a system, practice, or belief). This creates an abstract noun describing the practice or system of guttural articulation.
Certain musical traditions, particularly in Middle Eastern and North African music, feature prominent 'gutturalism'—deep throat sounds are essential to the emotional expression and authentic sound of these traditions.
