In Taiwanese phonetics, '''aspiration''' is the strong burst of [[hokhib|breath]] that accompanies the release of {{w|obstruent}}s. The {{w|aspirated consonant}}s are ''ph'', ''th'', ''kh'', ''ch'', ''zh'' (IPA: [pʰ], [tʰ], [kʰ], [tɕʰ], [tsʰ]). They are composed of the symbols for the plain, unvoiced, unaspirated consonant (see {{w|tenuis consonant}}), followed by the letter [[h]] for aspiration. | In Taiwanese phonetics, '''aspiration''' is the strong burst of [[hokhib|breath]] that accompanies the release of {{w|obstruent}}s.
