Etymology 1Edit
Modification of capital letter D, from Ancient Greek letter Δ (D, “Delta”).
LetterEdit
d (upper case D)
- The fourth letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet.
Usage notesEdit
The letter d is used in the alphabets of many languages, and in several romanization systems of non-Latin scripts to represent the voiced alveolar or dental plosive (/d/). In some languages and transcription systems, d may also represent other sounds, such as /t/ or /ð/.
