D

The letter D.



The letter D is a consonant. It has two pronunciations, typically [d] as in "dinner", though in certain places, it devoices to [t]: "asked" is really [æskt].



When combined with H, it is the sound [ð] as the "th" in "the"; e.g. "dhē". The choice of DH was chosen because TH is typically [θ], which is unvoiced like T is. So to voice it to [ð], the T becomes a D; TH -> DH.



The name of the letter D is [di], dē.
