The glottal stop or voiceless glottal plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in many spoken languages. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA is a system of phonetic notation based on the Latin alphabet, devised by the International Phonetic In the Markup languages SGML, HTML, XHTML and XML, a character entity reference is a reference to a particular kind of named The Extended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (X-SAMPA is a variant of SAMPA developed in 1995 by John C Voice or voicing is a term used in Phonetics and Phonology to characterize speech sounds, with sounds described as either voiceless A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a Consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the Vocal tract. In Articulatory phonetics, a consonant is a Speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the upper Vocal tract, the upper vocal Speech refers to the processes associated with the production and perception of Sounds used in Spoken language. A language is a dynamic set of visual auditory or tactile Symbols of Communication and the elements used to manipulate them The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʔ. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA is a system of phonetic notation based on the Latin alphabet, devised by the International Phonetic The glottal stop is the sound made when the vocal cords are pressed together to stop the flow of air and then released; for example, the break separating the syllables of the interjection uh-oh. The vocal folds, also known commonly as vocal cords, are composed of twin infoldings of Mucous membrane stretched horizontally across the Larynx. An interjection is a Part of speech that usually has no connection with the rest of the sentence and simply expresses Emotion on the part of the speaker While this segment is not a phoneme in English, it is present in nearly all dialects of English as an allophone of /t/. In Phonetics, an allophone is one of several similar speech sounds ( Phones that belong to the same Phoneme. Some foreign language learning texts (e. g. Arabic) spend considerable space explaining this sound (in non-technical terms) to English speakers, although most English speakers make this consonant easily and daily.

In the traditional Romanization of many languages, such as Arabic, the glottal stop is transcribed with an apostrophe, <’>, and this is the source of the IPA letter <ʔ>. In many Polynesian languages which use the Latin alphabet, however, the glottal stop is written with a reversed apostrophe, <‘> (called ‘okina in Hawaiian), which, confusingly, is also used to transcribe the ayin Arabic and is the source of the IPA character for the voiced pharyngeal fricative <ʕ>. Encoding and displaying the Polynesian glottal Old conventions In plain ASCII the glottal is sometimes represented by the apostrophe character (' The Hawaiian language (Hawaiian ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i) is an Austronesian language that takes its name from Hawai'i, the largest island in the tropical For the village in Azerbaijan see Əyin. or is the sixteenth letter in many Semitic abjads, including Phoenician The voiced pharyngeal approximant/fricative is a type of Consonantal sound used in some spoken Languages The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet

In graphic representation the glottal stop is hard to generalize for the orthographies of most Philippine languages. In Philippines there are over 170 languages almost all of them belong to the Austronesian language family. In most cases, however, a word that begins with a vowel (e. g. Tagalog aso 'dog') is always pronounced with a glottal stop in the beginning. Some orthographies employ a hyphen, instead of the reverse apostrophe, if the glottal stop occurs in the middle of the word (e. g. Tagalog pag-ibig 'love'). And when it occurs in the end of a word, the last vowel is written with a circumflex accent (if the accent is on the last syllable) or a grave accent (if the accent occurs at the penultimate syllable). Pitch The circumflex accent was first used in the polytonic orthography of Ancient Greek, where it occurred (subject to certain rules on the accented syllable Pitch The grave accent was first used in the polytonic orthography of Ancient Greek, where it occurred only on the last syllable of a word in cases where the
