In [[Slavic languages]], the [[alveolar trill]] predominates, with the use of guttural rhotics seen as defective pronunciation.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} However, the uvular trill is common among the languages of the [[Sorbian language|Sorbian]] minority in [[Saxony]], eastern Germany, likely due to German influence. The uvular rhotic may also be found in a small minority in [[Silesia]] and other German-influenced regions of Poland and also [[Slovenia]], but is overall quite rare even in these regions. It can also be perceived as an ethnic marker of Jewishness, particularly in Russian where [[Ashkenazi Jews|Eastern European Jews]] often carried the uvular rhotic from their native [[Yiddish]] into their pronunciation of Russian.
