'''Glottal''' sounds are formed at the glottis, also known as the "vocal cords" or the "voice box". Their articulation requires the constriction or closure of the vocal folds in a manner that is distinct from voicing. Such sounds are considered ''dorsal'' because of their backness in the vocal tract. English has two glottal sounds: the glottal stop [ʔ] and glottal fricative [h]. Gaelic includes [h] in its phoneme inventory as well.

Glottal sounds are formed at the glottis, also known as the "vocal cords" or the "voice box". Their articulation requires the constriction or closure of the vocal folds in a manner that is distinct from voicing. Such sounds are considered dorsal because of their backness in the vocal tract. English has two glottal sounds: the glottal stop [ʔ] and glottal fricative [h]. Gaelic includes [h] in its phoneme inventory as well.
