 Encyclopedia: Glottal stop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.
Danish has the glottal stop as a suprasegmental feature, though it is seldom indicated by the orthography; only the consonant clusters 'nd' and 'ld' indicate glottal stop, for example compare Danish hund (dog) /hunÊ”/ with hun (she) /hun/.
In Dutch, the glottal stop is not phonemic, but it is inserted in multi-morphemic words before morphemes that begin with a vowel, for example beamen ("to endorse"), where the glottal stop is inserted after the prefix "be-".

 info: Glottalize   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Glottalization is the complete or partial closure of the glottis during the articulation of another sound.
Glottalization of voiceless consonants usually involves complete closure of the glottis; another way to describe this phenomenon is to say that a glottal stop is made simultaneously with another consonant.
While glottalization is phonemic in some languages, in English it is strictly allophonic, meaning it behaves as a variation of another sound.

 Phonology
This might tend to be rejected as unprecedented, but the "letter shape" is surely appropriate, and the voiceless uvular plosive [q] is right next to the voiced velar plosive [g] in any case.
For instance, the word "queen" is now almost universally pronounced as "kween" rather than with the original uvular plosive, so the symbol [q] has become redundant and might as well be otherwise employed.
Notable for their absence from the suggested Lang25 phonology are the common English phonemes /θ/ and /ð/ (/dh/ and /th/) the voiced and voiceless dental fricatives - as in "the" and "thin".

Short, stressed vowels may trigger the introduction of a glottal stop; arguably, there is a minimal pair for the word veronalainen between ['veronʔalainen] "under tax" and ['veronalainen] "inhabitant of Verona".
A glottal stop often occurs between repeated vowels (for example Hawai‘i), but as the example ‘okina indicates, this is not the only place where a glottal stop may occur.

 How to pronounce Hebrew
Voiceless retroflex plosive This admittedly is a tricky one - the other contender was voiceless pharyngealized dental plosive, analagous to sade, but I couldn't pronounce it (so I'm not perfect!).
Voiceless labiodental fricative f Although (as for beth) the more logical choice might have been the unvoiced bilabial fricative (as Ancient Greek "phi"), this is not at all attested in Hebrew; all modern pronounciations have /f/ (except Babylonian which has aspirated /p/, but this seems borrowed, since no other Semitic languages use aspiration).
Perhaps sin should be a voiceless retroflex fricative, but this is not attested in any Semitic languages, to my knowledge.

The 1993 version of IPA treats implosives as inherently voiced, but it seems likely that voiceless implosives will be assigned their own symbols some day soon.
But the question mark is such a powerful symbol that it could easily be misread to mean "uncertain" or "unknown" in the middle of transcription.
There is a Shanghainese tradition going back to the beginning of this century in which final glottal stop is written with a letter q, and based on this perhaps Q can substitute for glottal stop.
