H-dropping is a colloquial term used to describe the "dropping" of initial "h" in words like "house", "heat", and "hangover" in many dialects of English, particularly in England. It is often regarded as a solecism but occurs in many other languages, such as Serbian. In French, Spanish, and Italian, initial "h" was lost in standard spoken usage centuries ago.
