Random language trivia showing up in my recommended, huh. Interesting points but I disagree with the one about tonality. “Uh-huh” said in a flat low tone is what everyone says when they’re barely listening. Even your example of “uh-uh!” in high tones sounded like a playful rejection, or a shortened “uh-uh-uh!” (like might come with a finger wag or said partially in jest).

Interjections often have sounds not found in the other classes.

I can't find a difference between "uh-uh" with my nose plugged and with it normally.

i say ʌɦʌ just as often as ʌhʌ it's contextual tho the first tends to be longer and drawn out for dramatic/playful/serious effect, so the voicing naturally glides over to the consonant the second happens when spoken quickly
