Which of the following sounds is a voiceless glottal fricative?

A/h/

B/ʔ/

C/ɦ/

D/g/

Answer:

A. /h/

Read Explanation:

The voiceless glottal fricative is /h/.

  • Voiceless: The vocal cords do not vibrate.

  • Glottal: The sound is produced at the glottis (the space between the vocal cords).

  • Fricative: Air passes through a narrow opening, creating friction.

Examples:

  • /h/ in "hat" (/hæt/)

  • /h/ in "hello" (/həˈloʊ/)
