Who told you such crap that Polish do not pronounce letter "h"?!!!
May be a few jews can't pronounce it - or rather don't want to pronounce proper Polish. Like their snoring "r", etc. May be you know of some "thief jargon" that would do that, though... But it also would have to be one I wouldn't be familiar with, as a Pole that I am. What a rubbish.
In Polish there is not such think like silent letters. All letters ply their role in Polish language, and "h" always was and is pronounced, and quite clearly. Although, germans and jews speaking Jiddish can not pronunce it properly and either make it into "k" making "klop" of Chlop (meaning peasant), etc, or "oroba", form choroba, meaning sickness, or "boater" form bohater, meaning hero. All this is clearly pronunced in Polish. There is no such think like unpronunced letters... However, you right aout Spanish and French not pronuncing it, as well as some other letters, like "s" at the end of word, etc. |
