English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The letter name is from Middle English ā, from Old French, ultimately from Latin ā. Use of the Latin letter in (Old) English displaced the futhorc letter ᚪ (a) beginning in the 7th century, and partially also ᚫ (æ).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (letter name)
- The current pronunciation resulted from the Great Vowel Shift. Before the early part of the 17th century, the pronunciation was similar to that in other languages.
- (phoneme) IPA(key): /æ/, /ɑː/, /eɪ/, /ə/, etc.
Letter
[edit]letter (lowercase, uppercase A, plural as or a's)
- The first letter of the English alphabet, written in the Latin script.
Usage notes
[edit]- In English, the letter a usually denotes the near-open front unrounded vowel (IPA(key): /æ/), as in pad, the open back unrounded vowel (IPA(key): /ɑː/) as in father, the mid-central vowel (IPA(key): /ə/) when unstressed as in about, or, when followed by another vowel, the diphthong IPA(key): /eɪ/, as in ace.
- A is the third most common letter in English.
