Thanks for your reply, Languagelover.

Interesting, that the "h" was only aspirated when it was used as the initial sound followed by another consonant... but I was only guessing anyways.

I know that "h" sounded like Cool [H] when it's the first sound of a word or syllable, and Girl [X] when its's the final sound of a word or immediately followed by a consonant. It seems to be different when h occurs initially and is followed by a consonant then...

 

Anyways, thanks again Wink [;)] I've bookmarked the link, CalifJim posted (Ididn't realize there was one), so thanks also to you, Jim Wink [;)]

The similarities among the languages are more than their differences!

I cannot access its audio files on my computer, but you may be able to on yours.
