"h" meaning in Maltese

See h in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Character

IPA: /-/ [phoneme], /ː/ [phoneme], /j/ [phoneme], /w/ [phoneme], /ħ/ [phoneme], /h/ [phoneme], /ħ/ [phoneme] Forms: H [uppercase]
Etymology: 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(“tongues of the cities”, referring to the cities around the Grand Harbour according to Vassalli) which eventually superceded the increasingly archaic [h] sound in the neighborhing areas. Etymology templates: {{inh|mt|ar|ه}} Arabic ه (h) Head templates: {{head|mt|letter|upper case|H}} h (upper case H)

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(“tongues of the cities”, referring to the cities around the Grand Harbour according to Vassalli) which eventually superceded the increasingly archaic [h] sound in the neighborhing areas.",
