- For the mountains, see Mount Heng.
Heng is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from h with the addition of a tail.
It was used word-finally in early transcriptions of Mayan languages, where it may have represented an uvular fricative.
It is sometimes used to write Judeo-Tat.
It has been occasionally used by phonologists to represent a hypothetical phoneme in English, which includes both [h] and [ŋ] as its allophones. Normally /h/ and /ŋ/ are considered separate phonemes in English.
