African D
African
D
is a
Latin letter
representing
the
voiced retroflex plosive
. It is a part of the
African reference alphabet
. It is mainly used by
African languages
such as
Ewe
,
Fon
,
Aja
, and
Bassa
.
The African
D should not be
confused
with either the
eth
of
Icelandic
,
Faroese
and
Old English
or with the
D with stroke
of
Vietnamese
,
Serbo-Croatian
and
Sami languages
. However, the
upper-case
forms of these
letters
tend
to
look
the same.
The
lower-case
variant
is used to
represent
the
voiced
retroflex
plosive
in the
International Phonetic Alphabet
.
