The process of converting a sound into a guttural sound (one made in the throat), or the condition of being guttural.
From Latin 'guttur' (throat) + '-alization' (process suffix). Describes how sounds shift to be produced deeper in the throat during speech evolution.
When people speak, their accents sometimes show 'gutturalization'—the way certain consonants get pushed back in the throat—which is why some languages sound raspier or more guttural than others to our ears.
