Ħ (minuscule: ħ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from H with the addition of a bar. It is used in Maltese for a voiceless pharyngeal fricative consonant (corresponding to the letter heth of Semitic abjads: Arabic: ح, Hebrew: ח). Lowercase ħ is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet for the same sound. It was used for this sound in the 1556 work of Pérez de Ayala, slightly modified from Pedro de Alcalá's Vocabulary.[1]
