You know, I looked hard but found no language that contained the /inverted-h/
phoneme outside of French. Until I discovered it in Abkhaz. And Abkhaz has A
LOT of consonants.
The Cyrillic letter looks like an O, but with a smaller loop inside, and it
resembles an ornate Q.
For what it's worth, the phoneme is also in Tech. It's technically a palatized
/w/.
