Consonants Word-initial H

The Franco-American speakers studied in Manchester, NH, who substitute [t,d] for /θ,ð/ , also variably omit word-initial H and insert an initial 10 H in underlyingly vowel-initial words (e.g.,  Holy Angel High). Interestingly, several of these speakers are monolingual Anglophones, so this is not a case of mother tongue interference in a second language, but rather a marking of cultural identity.
