Kha, from Elisabeth Boehm's alphabet book

It commonly represents the voiceless velar fricative /x/, similar to how some Scottish speakers pronounce the ⟨ch⟩ in “loch”.

Kha is romanised as ⟨kh⟩ for Russian, Ukrainian, Mongolian, and Tajik, and as ⟨ch⟩ for Belarusian, while being romanised as ⟨h⟩ for Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Kazakh. It is also romanised as ⟨j⟩ for Spanish. The letter can have different pronunciations due to different Cyrillic languages so it may sometimes sound like the Digraph Kh as in Khalil or it can even sometimes sound like the Latin letter H as in hat. It mostly translates to Kh or H at most times, but sometimes it can also be translated to the Latin Letter X Just to avoid confusion.
