Kh (digraph)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kh is a digraph found in some writing systems.

In transcriptions of Indo-Aryan languages, it represents the aspirated voiceless velar plosive (/kʰ/).

For those from scores of other languages, this represents the voiceless velar fricative (/x/), a guttural sound; it may be pharyngealized (Sephardic Hebrew—the letter ḫêth ח), or laryngealized (standard Arabic, standard Persian, Urdu, ...—the letter ḵẖä’ خ).
