Pronunciation Notes

This letter represents the aspirated consonant [kh]. It is pronounced as the "k" in American English "king", or the [k] sound represented by the letter "c" in American English "cot", with a puff of breathy aspiration immediately following the [k] gesture. See SCRIPT BASICS: PRONUNCIATION TIPS FOR ASPIRATED CONSONANTS for more information.
