The letter H/h (like F/f, and O/o representing [o], [oː] instead of [uə̯]) is found only in words of foreign origin (borrowings). Note that it represents the sound of IPA [x] (like German machen, ach), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA [h].

Continues Arabic ه (h). In pre-modern Maltese, h still produces the sound [h] as recorded by Agius de Soldanis (1750) and Mikel Anton Vassalli (1796). The early contemporary variant was first found in the dialect of lsien tal-bliet (“tongues of the cities”, referring to the cities around the Grand Harbour according to Vassalli) which eventually superseded the increasingly archaic [h] sound in the neighboring areas.

• (phoneme) IPA^(key): /-/, /ː/, /j/, /w/, /ħ/
• (phoneme) IPA^(key): /h/, /ħ/ (archaic)

h (upper case H)

1. The tenth letter of the Maltese alphabet, written in the Latin script.

• In contemporary Maltese, h remains a true consonant [ħ] in the following cases:
  • in word-final position or when being the last radical of a verb: ikrah [ˈɪkraħ], jixbhu [ˈjɪʃpħʊ];
  • before the negative ending -x: jarawhx [jaˈrawħʃ];
  • in the clusters -għh-, -ħh-, -hh-, which all become [ħħ].
• Otherwise it is silent or leaves only a vocalic trace:
  • Following and preceding a, e, o are lengthened if stressed: hedded [ˈɛːddɛt], fehmet [ˈfɛːmɛt]. Other vowels are not affected.
  • In intervocalic position it is a glide, [j] after i, ie, and [w] after u: jibniha [jɪbˈnɪːja], inħobbuhom [ɪnħɔbˈbuːwɔm].
  • The sequence -aho- becomes [ɔː]: rahom [rɔːm]. The sequence -ehi- becomes [ɛj] or [ɛˈjiː]: ftehim [ftɛjm], [ftɛˈjiːm].
• On the other hand in pre-modern Maltese dialects that preserved the guttaral sounds, h remained as a true consonant with the aspirated and soft sound of [h] in all positions except:
  • If word final h is an affixed pronoun: ħalluh [χal.lʊːħ], ħallih [χal.lɪːħ], fih [fɪːħ].
• Phonotactically, word-initial h now generally behaves like a vowel, allowing contractions such as m’hemmx [mɛːmʃ]. However, word-internal h still behaves like a (virtual) consonant. Compare for example qablu [ˈʔablʊ] with qabilha [ʔaˈbɪla], which latter is formed as though the l were followed by a consonant.
