In Mexican linguistics, saltillo is the word for a glottal stop consonant. The name was given by the early grammarians of Classical Nahuatl. In a number of other Nahuan languages, the sound cognate to the glottal stop of Classical Nahuatl is, the term saltillo is applied to either pronunciation; the saltillo is written with an apostrophe, though it is sometimes written ⟨h⟩ for either pronunciation, or ⟨j⟩ when pronounced. The spelling of the glottal stop with an apostrophe-like character most originates from transliterations of the Arabic hamza, it has been written with a grave accent over the preceding vowel in some Nahuatl works, following Horacio Carochi. The saltillo represents a phoneme in many other indigenous languages of the Americas and so its presence or absence can distinguish words. However, there is no saltillo in Standard Spanish, so the sound is imperceptible to Spanish-speakers, Spanish writers did not write it when transcribing Mexican languages: Nahuatl "in a fire" and "he ascends" were both written tleco, for example.

Where saltillo is distinguished, the latter may be written tleꞌko. Although the basic meaning of the word'saltillo' is the sound, it is applied to the letter used to write that sound the straight apostrophe; the alphabet of the Tlapanec language uses both uppercase and lowercase saltillos, ⟨Ꞌ ꞌ⟩. Unicode support of the cased forms began with Unicode 5.1, with U+A78B Ꞌ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SALTILLO and U+A78C ꞌ LATIN SMALL LETTER SALTILLO. Both are rendered with a straight apostrophe-like shape sometimes described as a dotless exclamation point. Typesetters who are unfamiliar with Unicode use an apostrophe instead, but that can cause problems in electronic files because the apostrophe is a punctuation mark, not a word-building character, the ambiguous use of apostrophe for two different functions can make automated processing of the text difficult; the lowercase saltillo letter is used in Miꞌkmaq of Canada, Izere of Nigeria and in at least one Southeast Asian language, Central Sinama of the Philippines and Malaysia.

In the latter it represents both the glottal stop and the centralized vowel and derives from the historical use of hamza for those sounds in Arabic script. Examples are bowaꞌ ` mouth' as a nsꞌllan ` oil' as a vowel. Glottal stop Hamza ʻOkina Definition of saltillo
