What is the pronunciation of h? The eighth-most common letter in English is H. It is used in words with a frequency 4.2%. It modifies the pronunciations of some consonants, and it is an allophone for /s/ in most Spanish speaking countries. Additionally, h can be used as a voiceless version of the next vowel. This article explains the pronunciation of this sound in different languages.
/h/ is a Romance phoneme
Romance language /h/ used to be pronounced with a silent "h" sound. The phoneme has been lost in most southern languages, but it is still used. For example, in Spanish, the /h/ sound is present in words such as huelga and hache. In some Latin words, the 'h' is silent, making it easy to write and pronounce the silent letter.
Slavic languages have /f/.
The sound /f/ is not native to any Slavic language. Protoslavic saw it used as a variant form of 'chw", the original word. In the 14th century, words were pronounced using either an chw' or a f. The pronunciation and written form of the sound /f were preserved. Today, /f/ appears almost exclusively in foreign languages.
In Spanish-speaking nations, /s/ acts as an allophone for the word /x
One of the sounds found in Spanish is /s/. Its pronunciation in Spanish depends on how it is pronounced. It's pronounced the exact same way in Spanish as English, except that it is used in words like song and king. The phoneme /s' is pronounced the same way as the English's', but is represented by the letter 'j' instead.
/h> in a voiced environment is a glottal fricative
A glottal fricative is a consonant with a restricted articulation such as the /h/ consonant. It is an example a transitional state in the glottis and produces turbulence within the voiced environment. Historical reasons keep the term "glottal fricative" in use.
/h> is a silent letter with no pronunciation
A silent letter has no pronunciation, but the sound of an h is still audible. The silent letter is used to indicate length, hiatus and many other things. The silent h is often the last letter of a word, such as the term 'chimp'. The 'h' can also be a digraph, and is common in French. Depending on your accent it may be silent or silent, but it is often the first or last letter.
German word /h>
You may have noticed the /h/ sound in German for "cookie". This is because the German word for "cookie" is pronounced with an /h/. Sometimes, people pronounce it with a silent H, also known as a "dehungsh". This is a common mistake that many people make when learning German. Here are some examples:
/th> is a German word
The English language still has its dental fricatives but German has lost them. The /thd/ and /td/ consonants of German changed around the 10th Century. All West Germanic languages were affected, except English. Through an analogy to the Greek theta, the German word "th", was chosen as the replacement consonant. The cognate word "think", was created thenken.
