FYI: I am getting into first step of learning.
Thanks

Russian has no special letter for the Latin letter H
, in different words it is rendered differently, you have to consult a dictionary every time a proper name has H
. The main ways it can be written are:
Г
: Гималаи "the Himalayas", Генри "Henry";Х
: хинди, хиндустани "Hindi, Hindustani (languages)", Хайдарабад "Hyderabad";no letter at all
: Индостан "Hindustan (subcontinent)".
