Pronunciation Notes

This letter represents the aspirated consonant [chh]. It is pronounced like a very strong version of the American English "ch" (as in "chill"), with a puff of breathy aspiration immediately following. See SCRIPT BASICS: PRONUNCIATION TIPS FOR ASPIRATED CONSONANTS for more information.
