editD (upper case,lower cased,Baybayin spellingᜇᜒ)
- The fourthletter of the Tagalogalphabet (theFilipino alphabet), calleddi and written in theLatin script.
- (historical)The fifthletter of the Tagalogalphabet (theAbecedario), calledde and written in theLatin 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 asdadaan can becomedaraan. Compareflapping in pronunciation ofEnglishmedal. The letter does not change if the next consonant is an/ɾ/ (such asmadurog does not becomemarurog) or/l/ (such asmadilim does not becomemarilim).
- 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 aredaw/raw,dito/rito,dami/rami, anddamot/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 theTeresa-Morong dialect, the letterR may interchange with the letter on any position in the word even when not followed by a vowel,⟨w⟩, or⟨y⟩. (ex.ragat/dagat andbayar/bayad). Exceptions are recent loanwords, or if the next consonant after a/d/ is/ɾ/ (such as indurog) or/l/ (such as indila).
- Often switched with the letter⟨r⟩ on non-initial positions in early texts which may indicate ancient pronunciation of words.
