Which two sounds in English never occur at the beginning of words?

The two sounds in English that never occur at the beginning of words are:

* The "ng" sound: This sound, as in "sing" or "ring", is always found at the end of a syllable.

* The "h" sound when it's silent: This sound, as in "hour" or "honor", is never pronounced at the beginning of a word. If you hear an "h" sound at the beginning of a word, it's always pronounced.
