Usage notes

editEtymology
editBorrowed from Spanish D. Each pronunciation has a different source:
- Filipino alphabet pronunciation is influenced by English D.
- Abecedario pronunciation is from Spanish D.
- Abakada alphabet pronunciation is influenced by Baybayin character ᜇ (da/ra).
Pronunciation
editLetter
editD (upper case, lower case d, Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒ)
- The fourth letter of the Tagalog alphabet (the Filipino alphabet), called di and written in the Latin script.
- (historical) The fifth letter of the Tagalog alphabet (the Abecedario), called de and written in the Latin script.
Usage notes
edit- Sometimes switched with the letter ⟨R⟩ between vowels, ⟨W⟩, or ⟨Y⟩ in a word due to lenition of /d/ to /ɾ/ such as dadaan can become daraan. Compare flapping in pronunciation of English medal. The letter does not change if the next consonant is an /ɾ/ (such as madurog does not become marurog) or /l/ (such as madilim does not become marilim).
- Some words starting with the letter can also become ⟨R⟩ if the last letter of the preceding word is a vowel, ⟨W⟩, or ⟨Y⟩. Examples are daw/raw, dito/rito, dami/rami, and damot/ramot.
- On all cases stated above, it is acceptable whether ⟨D⟩ or ⟨R⟩ is used. However, the said phenomena do not occur on proper nouns nor recent loan words.
- In the Teresa-Morong dialect, the letter R may interchange with the letter on any position in the word even when not followed by a vowel, ⟨w⟩, or ⟨y⟩. (ex. ragat/dagat and bayar/bayad). Exceptions are recent loanwords, or if the next consonant after a /d/ is /ɾ/ (such as in durog) or /l/ (such as in dila).
- Often switched with the letter ⟨r⟩ on non-initial positions in early texts which may indicate ancient pronunciation of words.

editD (upper case, lower case d)
- The fifth letter of the Welsh alphabet, called di and written in the Latin script. It is preceded by Ch and followed by Dd.
Mutation
edit- D at the beginning of words mutates to Dd in a soft mutation, to N in a nasal mutation and is unchanged by aspirate mutation, for example with the word Dinbych (“Denbigh”):
Welsh mutation | |||
---|---|---|---|
radical | soft | nasal | aspirate |
Dinbych | Ddinbych | Ninbych | unchanged |
Note: Some of these forms may be hypothetical. Not every possible mutated form of every word actually occurs. |
