Central Franconian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]- /v/ is from West Germanic stem-internal *b and *f; from stem-initial *f around Aachen and in the Netherlands.
- For the origin of /f/, see F. For the origin of /ʋ/, see W.
Pronunciation
[edit]- /v/, (German-based also) /f/, /ʋ/
Letter
[edit]V
- A letter in the German-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
- A letter in the Dutch-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
Usage notes
[edit]- In the German-based spelling of Moselle Franconian, v is used instead of regular w or f only after the German cognate.
- In the German-based spelling of Ripuarian (without Aachen region), initial v is used as above, but internal v is the regular spelling for /v/.
- In Aachen and the Netherlands there is a threefold phonemic distinction between w /ʋ/, v /v/, f /f/, which the spelling reflects.
- In the German-based spelling, v is doubled after short vowels except in certain function words and when the letter is followed by another consonant within the word stem. In the syllable coda, the choice between v and f may be based on internal analogy, but more often follows the German cognate.
- In the Dutch-based spelling, v is doubled after short vowels. Coda v is automatically replaced with f.

[edit]V
- The twenty-second letter used in Pinyin.
Usage notes
[edit]- 《汉语拼音方案》 defines a standard pronunciation for each letter. However, these pronunciations are rarely used in education, and another pronunciation is commonly used instead. In the case of V, 《汉语拼音方案》 defines its pronunciation as ㄪㄝ, using the initial ㄪ (vō /v/), which is obsolete in standard Mandarin. This is one of the only instances of the letter being used in standard Pinyin.

See the Wikipedia article on Finnish for more information, and V for information on the development of the glyph itself. The letter was only rarely used prior to the 19th century, when it replaced W.

German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]For the origin of the letter, see v.
Germanic f was pronounced [v] in some dialects of Middle High German and was predominantly spelt v. This voicing was later reversed stem-initially in most dialects and stem-internally in some (including Standard German). In inherited words, the spelling mostly switched back to f accordingly. This always happened before l, r, u, ü, but otherwise there remains a number of relicts. These are the prefix ver-, the words Frevel, Vater, Vetter, Vieh, viel, vier, Vogel, Volk, voll, von, vor, and their derivatives.
In native German proper nouns, initial V is always /f/, but the internal pronunciation is hard to predict and differs by region. For example, it is usually /f/ in northern German placenames (e.g. Hannover, Havel, Jever), but /v/ in western ones (e.g. Grevenbroich, Leverkusen, Overath).
V was retained in words of foreign origin and its pronunciation varied. The contemporary standard is normally /v/, but always /f/ in Eva, Vau, Veilchen, Veit, Vettel, Vlies, Vogt. The words Vers, Vesper, Vize have /f/ in Germany, but usually /v/ in Austria. Both ways are de-facto standard in Evangelium, hieven, Larve, Nerven, Pulver (though dictionaries may recognise only one form or the other).
