Latvian
Etymology
Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur, and sporadically in Cyrillic.

Letter

- The twelfth letter of the Latvian alphabet, called hā and written in the Latin script.
Usage notes
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 Немачки machen, ach), not (as in most other alphabets based on the Latin script) the sound of IPA [h].
