ContinuesArabicه(h). In pre-modern Maltese,h still produces the sound[h] as recorded byAgius de Soldanis (1750) andMikel Anton Vassalli (1796). The early contemporary variant was first found in the dialect oflsien tal-bliet (“tongues of the cities”, referring to the cities around theGrand Harbour according to Vassalli) which eventually superseded the increasingly archaic[h] sound in the neighboring areas.

h (upper caseH)

1. The tenthletter of the Maltesealphabet, written in theLatin script.

• In contemporary Maltese,h remains a true consonant[ħ] in the following cases:
  • in word-final position or when being the last radical of a verb:ikrah[ˈɪkraħ],jixbhu[ˈjɪʃpħʊ];
  • before the negative ending-x:jarawhx[jaˈrawħʃ];
  • in the clusters-għh-, -ħh-,-hh-, which all become[ħħ].
• Otherwise it is silent or leaves only a vocalic trace:
  • Following and precedinga, e, o are lengthened if stressed:hedded[ˈɛːddɛt],fehmet[ˈfɛːmɛt]. Other vowels are not affected.
  • In intervocalic position it is a glide,[j] afteri, ie, and[w] afteru:jibniha[jɪbˈnɪːja],inħobbuhom[ɪnħɔbˈbuːwɔm].
  • The sequence-aho- becomes[ɔː]:rahom[rɔːm]. The sequence-ehi- becomes[ɛj] or[ɛˈjiː]:ftehim[ftɛjm],[ftɛˈjiːm].
• On the other hand in pre-modern Maltese dialects that preserved the guttaral sounds,h remained as a true consonant with the aspirated and soft sound of[h] in all positions except:
  • If word finalh is an affixed pronoun:ħalluh[χal.lʊːħ],ħallih[χal.lɪːħ],fih[fɪːħ].
• Phonotactically, word-initialh now generally behaves like a vowel, allowing contractions such asm’hemmx[mɛːmʃ]. However, word-internalh still behaves like a (virtual) consonant. Compare for exampleqablu[ˈʔablʊ] withqabilha[ʔaˈbɪla], which latter is formed as though thel were followed by a consonant.
