Mh (digraph)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mh is a digraph found in some languages. In Irish it stands for the lenition of m and is pronounced [v] or [w]; for example mo mháthair [mə ˈwɑːhəɾʲ] or [mə ˈvɑːhəɾʲ] "my mother" (cf. máthair [ˈmɑːhəɾʲ] "mother"). In Welsh it stands for the nasal mutation of p and is pronounced [m̥]; for example fy mhen [ə m̥ɛn] "my head" (cf. pen [pɛn] "head"). In both languages it is considered a sequence of the two letters m and h for purposes of alphabetization.
