Usage notes edit
- (from): English “from” is generally expressed by means of vo, but alternatively and regionally aus is sometimes used with words for settlements and territories (like Lånd, Stådt, Duaf, as well as geographical names), probably by influence of Standard German. One uses vo when both the places “from which” and “to which” are given: Der Zug då foaht vo Wien nåch Minga. – “This train goes from Vienna to Munich.” If the further direction is not given, aus might be used: Der Zug då kimmt aus Wien. – “This train is coming from Vienna.”, instead of Der Zug då kimmt vo Wien.

- Nonstandard spelling of vō.
Usage notes edit
- 《汉语拼音方案》 (Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet) defines a standard pronunciation for each letter in Hanyu Pinyin with Zhuyin. In the case of V, it is defined as ㄪㄝ, using the otherwise-obsolete initial ㄪ (vō /v/). This is one of the only instances of the letter being used in standard Pinyin.
- Transcriptions of Mandarin into the Latin script often do not distinguish between the critical tonal differences employed in the Mandarin language, using words such as this one without indication of tone.
