Pronounce the ‘h’


WHICH is correct? “Seri Carcosa Negara is a/an historic building.” – belallang

The “h” in “historic” is usually pronounced now, and so the phrase “a historic” is what is commonly used. However, in the older pronunciation of the word, the “h” is not pronounced, and so the word begins with a vowel and sounds like “istorik”. When that pronunciation is used, the phrase “an historic” is used.
