Random language trivia showing up in my recommended, huh. Interesting points but I disagree with the one about tonality. “Uh-huh” said in a flat low tone is what everyone says when they’re barely listening. Even your example of “uh-uh!” in high tones sounded like a playful rejection, or a shortened “uh-uh-uh!” (like might come with a finger wag or said partially in jest).
i say ʌɦʌ just as often as ʌhʌ it's contextual tho the first tends to be longer and drawn out for dramatic/playful/serious effect, so the voicing naturally glides over to the consonant the second happens when spoken quickly
The word Hawaii actually comes from the Polynesian word Hawaiki, and K and T are allophones in many Polynesian languages. So technically, even though in the word Hawai‘i we don't substitute in the K/T in English, in some Polynesian languages they do.
I can't find a difference between "uh-uh" with my nose plugged and with it normally.

"uh-huh" cam have a different meaning if you swap the tones
It's impossible to say without the vibration😂

I thought the sound you make
whenever a word starts with a vowel
is a glottal stop, is it not?
Did english borrow those from elsewhere?
in Thai, "ʔ" represents as "อ" (fr idk abt it*)
