V

In maist leids that uise a Latin alphabet, ⟨v⟩ haes a [v]-lik soond (voiced labiodental fricative). In maist byleids o Spainyie, it is pronoonced the same as ⟨b⟩, [b] or [β̞]. In German an Dutch it can be aither [v] or [f].

In Native American leids o North Americae (mainly Iroquoian), ⟨v⟩ represents a nasalized central vowel, /ə̃/.

In Cheenese pinyin, ⟨v⟩ isnae uised, as thare is nae soond [v] in Staundart Mandarin; but the letter ⟨v⟩ is uised bi maist inpit methods fur tae enter letter ⟨ü⟩, whilk maist keybuirds lack. Romanised Cheenese is a popular method fur tae enter Cheenese text phonetically.

In Erse, the letter ⟨v⟩ is maistly uised in loanwirds, sic as veidhlín frae Inglis violin. Housomiver the soond [v] appears naiturally in Erse when /b/ is lenited or "softened", representit in the orthography bi ⟨bh⟩, sae that bhí is pronoonced [vʲiː], an bhean (the woman) is pronoonced [ən̪ˠ ˈvʲan̪ˠ], etc.

In the 19t century, ⟨v⟩ wis whiles uised tae transcribe a palatal click, [ǂ], a function syne pairtly taen ower bi ⟨ç⟩.
