Heng

Heng

Heng is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from h combined with something similar to Eng.

It was used word-finally in early transcriptions of Mayan languages, where it may have represented an uvular fricative.

It is sometimes used to write Judeo-Tat.

It has been occasionally used by phonologists to represent a hypothetical phoneme in English, which includes both IPA| [h] and IPA| [ŋ] as its allophones. Normally IPA|/h/ and IPA|/ŋ/ are considered separate phonemes in English.

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER HENG (unicode|Ꜧ) U+A726 or LATIN SMALL LETTER HENG (unicode|ꜧ) U+A727 are encoded in Latin Extended-D. A variant form, LATIN SMALL LETTER HENG WITH HOOK, is　also encoded as part of the IPA Extensions block.
