H, eighth letter of the English and Latin alphabets. Originally derived from
the Semitic H, cheth, the letter represented the sound of an aspirate (see
PHONETICS) in the Greek and Latin alphabets, as it does usually in modern
English. In vernacular Latin the aspiration was dropped. As a result, h is
normally silent in the Romance languages, as it is in many English words,
such as honor. It is silent also in several English dialects and is pronounced
erroneously or dropped in
the cockney dialect of London. The letter h combines into digraphs with other
consonants to form various consonant sounds.
