English. In English orthography, ⟨x⟩ is typically pronounced as the voiceless consonant cluster /ks/ when it follows the stressed vowel (e.g. ox), and the voiced consonant /ɡz/ when it precedes the stressed vowel (e.g. exam). It is also pronounced /ɡz/ when it precedes a silent ⟨h⟩ and a stressed vowel (e.g. exhaust).

The ‘z sound’ /z/ is voiced (the vocal cords vibrate during its production), and is the counterpart to the unvoiced ‘s sound’ /s/. To create the /z/, the front of the tongue is placed close to the tooth ridge.
