I speak two, and in one of those, the meaning is completely different. In my native language, the nasal "huh" is actually and acknowledgement as in "yes, I will do it" or "ok, go ahead". Our version of the quizzical "huh" is actually a nasal "aa" sound (as in cat) with an upward inflection.
- perl4ever 6y agoI think the chart showed transliterations similar to "aa". It was not claimed that the exact sound or spelling of "huh" exists in every language.
