The letter Kha (Х, х) is an important part of the Cyrillic alphabet. It's the twentieth letter you'll find in this alphabet. You might see it in languages like Russian, Ukrainian, and many others.

Understanding the Letter Kha

The letter Kha is a special character in the Cyrillic alphabet. It has both a big letter (uppercase) and a small letter (lowercase), just like letters in the English alphabet.

What Sound Does Kha Make?

The sound of Kha is often described as similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch" or the German composer's name "Bach." It's a sound made at the back of your throat. It's not quite like the English "h" or "x," but it has its own unique place in many languages.

Where Did Kha Come From?

The letter Kha has a long history! It originally came from the Greek letter called Chi (Χ, χ). Over time, as alphabets developed, this Greek letter influenced the creation of Kha in the Cyrillic alphabet.

You can also see how Kha is related to some letters in the Roman alphabet, which is the one we use for English. It shares some similarities with the letters H and X. This shows how different alphabets can be connected through their history.
