H, or h, is the eighth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, including the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide.
h, eighth letter of the alphabet. It corresponds to Semitic cheth and Greek eta (Η). It may derive from an early symbol for fence. In the early Greek alphabets a form with three horizontal bars and the simpler form H were both widely distributed.
H is found in the most common two-letter pair (th) and in the most common three-letter combination (the). (The letter H is typically pronounced aitch.) Where did the letter come from, though? It can be traced back to Northern Semitic languages and today is the English corollary to the Hebrew letter heth, which is pronounced as it is spelled.
H or h is an abbreviation for words beginning with h, such as 'hour', 'height', ' hospital', and 'hard'.
