Klallam Grammar

ʔ, h

Klallam Vowels
ʔ, h  These sounds are both produced deep in the throat, right at the vocal chords.
ʔ  is called a ‘glottal stop.’ It sounds like a catch or abrupt stoppage of air in the throat. This sound is what separates the two vowel sounds in English ‘uh‑oh.’
h  is the same as the first sound in English ‘hat.’
