Several English interjections contain sounds, or are sounds as opposed to words, that do not (or very rarely) exist in regular English [[Phonology|phonological]] inventory. For example:
* ''Ahem'' {{IPA|[əʔəm], [ʔəhəm], [əɦəm], or [ʔəhəm]}}, ("Attention!") may contain a [[glottal stop]] {{IPAblink|ʔ}} or a {{IPAblink|ɦ}} in any dialect of English; the glottal stop is common in [[American English]], some British dialects, and in other languages, such as [[German language|German]].
* ''Gah'' {{IPA|[ɡæh]}}, {{IPA|[ɡɑː]}} ("Gah, there's nothing to do!") ends with {{IPA|[h]}}, which does not occur with regular English words.
* ''Psst'' {{IPA|[psːt]}} ("Listen closely!") is an entirely consonantal syllable, and its consonant cluster does not occur initially in regular English words.
* ''Shh'' {{IPA|[ʃːː]}} ("Quiet!") is another entirely consonantal syllable word.
* ''Tut-tut'' {{IPA|[ǀ.ǀ]}} ("Shame on you"), also spelled ''tsk-tsk'', is made up entirely of [[Click consonant|clicks]], which are an active part of regular speech in several [[Languages of Africa|African language]]s. This particular click is [[dental click|dental]]. (This also has the spelling pronunciation  {{IPA|[tʌt tʌt]}}.)
* ''Ugh'' {{IPA|[ʌx]}} ("Disgusting!") ends with a [[Voiceless velar fricative|velar fricative]] consonant, which is otherwise restricted to just a few regional dialects of English, though is common in languages like [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[German language|German]], [[Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic]], and [[Russian language|Russian]].
* ''Whew'' or ''phew'' {{IPA|[ɸɪu]}}, [{{IPA|ɸju}}] ("What a relief!"), also spelled ''shew'', may start with a [[voiceless bilabial fricative|bilabial fricative]], a sound pronounced with a strong puff of air through the [[lip]]s. This sound is a common phoneme in such languages as [[Suki language|Suki]] (a language of [[New Guinea]]) and [[Ewe language|Ewe]] and [[Logba language|Logba]] (both spoken in [[Ghana]] and [[Togo]]).
* ''Uh-oh'' {{IPA|[ˈʌʔoʊ], [ˈʌ̆ʔ˦oʊ˨]}} ("Oh, no!") contains a glottal stop.
* ''Yeah'' {{IPA|[jæ]}} ("Yes") ends with the vowel {{IPA|[æ]}}, or in some dialects the short vowel {{IPA|[ɛ]}} or tensed {{IPA|[ɛə]}}, none of which are found at the end of any regular English words.
