Initial /h/ Words

(Pronouncing Aspirated vs. Silent letters)

Most words that begin with /h/ in the initial position are aspirated. The exception to
this rule are a few words in English (listed in B
OLD below), which are not pronounced (silent
letter rule). These words originate from French and thus possess this unusual pronunciation
feature.
