Let me dare to express my sincere doubts about the statement "Throat singing, also known in the western world as overtone singing, harmonic singing, or harmonic chant". In most of the rest of the world people seem to know the distinction between throat (german: de:kehlkopfgesang and overtone singing de:Obertongesang, although they can be nicely combined. I recently uploaded examples on commons that demonstrate my point:

  1. Media:oton.ogg Obertongesang.
  2. Media:uton.ogg Unterton-/Kehlkopfgesang.
  3. Media:uoton.ogg Kehlkopfgesang mit Obertönen.

If someone made an effort to disambiguate this article, i would suggest entering those sound examples into it. -- Kku 09:01, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There is a technical limitation to this article - the correct Tuvan word for throat singing is "Khöömei".
