Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed byK. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in GermanFraktur, and sporadically inCyrillic.
The letterH/h (likeF/f, andO/o representing [o], [oː] instead of [uə̯]) is found only in words of foreign origin (borrowings). Note that it represents the sound of IPA [x] (likeGermanmachen,ach), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA [h].
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(“tongues of the cities”, referring to the cities around theGrand Harbour according to Vassalli) which eventually superseded the increasingly archaic[h] sound in the neighboring areas.
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.
The Polish orthography is based on the Latin alphabet. No earlier script is known. See thehistory of Polish orthography article on Wikipedia for more, andh for development of the glyph itself.
Seemingly native words spelt with ⟨h⟩ (rather than ⟨ch⟩) are generally fromCzech or other Slavic dialects. Otherwise ⟨h⟩ occurs in loanwords, especially from German. Some dialects distinguish between/x/ and/h/, but this is not part of standard Polish.
This abbreviation uses no spaces or points and must always follow a number (in its most common usage, a number between 0 and 23 to indicate the day's hours).
The abbreviation can be followed by a number between 00 and 59 to indicate the minutes of an hour (as in French). This can be optionally represented by another abbreviation:min.
Example:15h30 or15h30min, the first being much more common
min can be further followed by another abbreviation,s, to represent seconds.

From Gaj's Latin alphabeth, fromCzech alphabeth, from Latinh. Pronunciation as/xə/ is initial Slovene (phoneme plus a fill vowel) and the second pronunciation is probably taken fromGermanh.
In Metelko alphabet, the phoneme was written by two different letters whether it was pronounced as velar/x/ or glottal/h/, a distinction irrelevant to nowadays standard and the distinction was also not used by all writers. Phoneme/h/ was written with 〈h〉, while/x/ was written with a yet to be encoded character.
Prepositionh is a form of prepositionk that appears before words that start with/k/ or/ɡ/ while other form is used for all other words. In "correct" pronunciation, the preposition does not form its own syllable, but binds to the first syllable of the next word and has therefore two pronunciations:[x] if word starts with[k] and[ɣ] if word starts with[ɡ]. In colloquial speech, this form (or at least its pronunciation) are also used with words starting with other letters.

Over time, some of the loaned Spanish words still spelled with the silent⟨h⟩ are spoken with/h/ due tospelling pronunciation, as people are becoming less aware of the letter being silent.
