Kha or Ha (Х х; italics: Х х) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It looks the same as the Latin letter X (X x X x), in both uppercase and lowercase, both roman and italic forms.
It commonly represents the voiceless velar fricative /x/, like the Scottish pronunciation of ⟨ch⟩ in "loch".
Kha is romanized as ⟨kh⟩.
