voiced glottal fricative

Features of the voiced glottal fricative:

• Its phonation is breathy voiced, or murmured, which means the vocal cords are loosely vibrating, with more air escaping than in a modally voiced sound. It is sometimes referred to as a "voiced h". Strictly speaking this is incorrect, as there is no voicing.{{Cite book|title=A course in phonetics|last1=Ladefoged|first1=Peter|last2=Keith|first2=Johnson|publisher=Wadsworth Publishing|year=2011|isbn=9781428231269|edition= Sixth|location=Boston, MA|pages=149|oclc=613523782}}
• In some languages, it has the constricted manner of articulation of a fricative. However, in many if not most it is a transitional state of the glottis with no manner of articulation other than its phonation type. Because there is no other constriction to produce friction in the vocal tract, most phoneticians no longer consider {{IPA|[ɦ]}} to be a fricative. True fricatives may have a murmured phonation in addition to producing friction elsewhere. However, the term "fricative" is generally retained for the historical reasons.
• It may have a glottal place of articulation. However, it may have no fricative articulation, making the term glottal mean that it is articulated by the vocal folds, but this is the nature of its phonation rather than a separate articulation. All consonants except for the glottals, and all vowels, have an individual place of articulation in addition to the state of the glottis. As with all other consonants, surrounding vowels influence the pronunciation {{IPA|[ɦ]}}, and accordingly {{IPA|[ɦ]}} has only the place of articulation of these surrounding vowels.
