Usage notes
edit- In the German-based spelling, d is doubled after short vowels except in certain function words and when the letter is followed by another consonant within the word stem.

editTagalog
editEtymology
editBorrowed from Spanish D. Each pronunciation has a different source:
- Filipino alphabet pronunciation is influenced by English D.
- Abecedario pronunciation is from Spanish D.
- Abakada alphabet pronunciation is influenced by Baybayin character ᜇ (da/ra).
Pronunciation
editLetter
editD (upper case, lower case d, Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒ)
- The fourth letter of the Tagalog alphabet (the Filipino alphabet), called di and written in the Latin script.
- (historical) The fifth letter of the Tagalog alphabet (the Abecedario), called de and written in the Latin 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 as dadaan can become daraan. Compare flapping in pronunciation of English medal. The letter does not change if the next consonant is an /ɾ/ (such as madurog does not become marurog) or /l/ (such as madilim does not become marilim).
- 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 are daw/raw, dito/rito, dami/rami, and damot/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 the Teresa-Morong dialect, the letter R may interchange with the letter on any position in the word even when not followed by a vowel, ⟨w⟩, or ⟨y⟩. (ex. ragat/dagat and bayar/bayad). Exceptions are recent loanwords, or if the next consonant after a /d/ is /ɾ/ (such as in durog) or /l/ (such as in dila).
- Often switched with the letter ⟨r⟩ on non-initial positions in early texts which may indicate ancient pronunciation of words.
