Dh (digraph)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dh (lowercase: dh) is a digraph consisting of the letters D and H.
[edit] Uses in Latin-based alphabets
Dh is the sixth letter in the Albanian alphabet, between D and E, representing the voiced dental fricative (/ð/). In Irish orthography it represents the voiced velar fricative [ɣ] or the voiced palatal approximant [j]; at the beginning of a word it shows the lenition of d, for example mo dhoras [mə ɣoɾəs] "my door" (cf. doras [d̪orəs] "door"). In the pre-1985 orthography of Guinea, dh was used for the voiced alveolar implosive ɗ in Pular, a Fula language. It is currently written ɗ.
[edit] Uses in transliteration
Dh is used in various ways in transcribing words from languages written in non-Latin scripts. In transcriptions of Indo-Aryan languages, for example, it represents the aspirated voiced dental plosive (/d̪ʰ/).
