Letter Edit
H (upper case, lower case h)
- The eighth letter of the German alphabet.
Usage notes Edit
For the use of silent h in German orthography one may note three general rules:
- It occurs only after long monophthongs and the diphthong ei.
- It occurs after simple i only in the pronominal stems ihm, ihn-, ihr-, and in Schlemihl.
- It is mostly restricted to native Germanic words; instances in loanwords are exceptional.
Expanding on this, one can distinguish three types of silent h:
- Etymological h is written in words where Middle High German had a consonant that has become silent; this was usually h, occasionally g or w. Etymological h is missing only in a few words (e.g. rau, Ton, Träne).
- Hiatus-breaking h is written when an inflectable word stem ends in a long monophthong. This, too, is missing only in a few native words (e.g. säen, certain nouns like Knie, See, Schnee).
- Lengthening h (in the strict sense) may be written between long a, ä, e, o, ö, u, ü and following l, m, n, r. Its use is very irregular and it is missing in a great deal of words. At times this is done to distinguish homophones (e.g. malen vs. mahlen), but in general there is no clear system. One can note that lengthening h proper does not occur in stems starting with sch-, sp-, t-. It is overall rare in words starting with more than one consonant, but there are several counterexamples (e.g. Drohne, prahlen, Stuhl).

Etymology Edit
From Gaj's Latin alphabet H, from Czech alphabet H, from Latin H, from the Etruscan letter 𐌇 (h, “he”), from the Ancient Greek letter Η (Ē, “eta”), derived from the Phoenician letter 𐤇 (ḥ, “het”), from the Egyptian hieroglyph 𓈈 or maybe 𓉗. Pronunciation as /xə/ is initial Slovene (phoneme plus a fill vowel) and the second pronunciation is probably taken from German H.
Pronunciation Edit
- Phoneme
• (Standard Slovene, tonal) IPA(key): /x/, [ɣ], SNPT: /h/, [ɣ] |
Note:different distinctions and accent shifts do not necessarily exclude other and most of them exist in both tonal and non-tonal Slovene.
- Letter name
• (Standard Slovene, tonal) IPA(key): [ˈxə̂], [ˈxâː], [ˈxǎː], SNPT: [hə̏], [hā] • (Standard Slovene, non-tonal) IPA(key): [ˈxə], [ˈxaː], SNPT: [hə̀], [hā],

Note:different distinctions and accent shifts do not necessarily exclude other and most of them exist in both tonal and non-tonal Slovene.

Usage notes Edit
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 .
