We have already noted that when the consonants <span style="color: #008000;">t c p</span> (broad and slender) are preceded by a vowel, a <span style="color: #008000;">h</span> sound precedes them. This is referred to as pre-aspiration. This pre-aspiration normally takes the form of a voiceless breathing <span style="color: #008000;">h</span> before each of the consonants <span style="color: #008000;">t c p</span>. However, before <span style="color: #008000;">c</span>, it is very often realised as <span style="color: #008000;">ch</span>. Listen carefully to the following examples. You may notice that the pre-aspiration <span style="color: #008000;">h</span> is not very audible following long vowels. | We have already noted that when the consonants <span style="color: #008000;">t c p</span> (broad and slender) are preceded by a vowel, a <span style="color: #008000;">h</span> sound precedes them.

We have already noted that when the consonants t c p (broad and slender) are preceded by a vowel, a h sound precedes them. This is referred to as pre-aspiration. This pre-aspiration normally takes the form of a voiceless breathing h before each of the consonants t c p. However, before c, it is very often realised as ch. Listen carefully to the following examples. You may notice that the pre-aspiration h is not very audible following long vowels.
