<\/a>Consonant clusters beginning with H<\/h1>\r\n

The clusters beginning with H include [ hp ]<\/span> HP, [ ht ]<\/span> HT, [ ht\u0283 ]<\/span> HCH, [ hk ]<\/span> HK, [ hy ]<\/span> HY, and [ hw ]<\/span> HW. You may find it hard to hear the [ h ]<\/span> because English does not have such clusters. In addition, East Cree speakers do not always pronounce the [ h ]<\/span><\/a>. Here are some examples of clusters beginning with [ h ]<\/span> in East Cree.<\/p>\r\n
