[edit] Usage notes

The letter d is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, in the alphabets of many languages, and in several romanization systems of non-Latin scripts to represent the voiced alveolar plosive (IPA: /d/). In some languages and transcription systems where unaspirated stops contrast with aspirated stops, d represents an unaspirated /t/, while t represents an aspirated /tʰ/.
