Etymology 1
[edit]From the Old English letter B, from 7th century replacement by Latin B of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᛒ (b, beorc).
Letter
[edit]B (upper case, lower case b, plural Bs or B's)
- The second letter of the English alphabet, called bee and written in the Latin script.
- 1943 November – 1944 February (date written; published 1945 August 17), George Orwell [pseudonym; Eric Arthur Blair], Animal Farm […], London: Secker & Warburg, published May 1962, →OCLC:
- Boxer could not get beyond the letter D. He would trace out A, B, C, D, in the dust with his great hoof […]
Usage notes
[edit]In Modern English, the letter B is sometimes silent, e.g. in climb, and debt.
Apostrophes are sometimes used to form plurals of single upper case letters, especially at the start of a sentence:
- A’s are difficult to achieve in this class.
Usually, though, the apostrophe is avoided when there is no risk of confusion:
- She gets straight As in school.

[edit]Etymology 4
[edit]Possibly a contraction of BCPL (“Basic Combined Programming Language”), the name of a programming language from which B was derived. Dennis Ritchie (a coworker of B’s designer, Ken Thompson) speculated that B might be based on Bon (the name of an earlier, but unrelated, programming language that Thompson designed for use on Multics), itself either from Bonnie (the name of Thompson’s wife) or “(according to an encyclopedia quotation in its manual), after a religion whose rituals involve the murmuring of magic formulas”.[1]
Proper noun
[edit]B
- (computer languages) A programming language from which C is derived.

- Its name most probably represents a contraction of BCPL, though an alternate theory holds that it derives from Bon [Thompson 69], an unrelated language created by Thompson during the Multics days. Bon in turn was named either after his wife Bonnie or (according to an encyclopedia quotation in its manual), after a religion whose rituals involve the murmuring of magic formulas.

Central Franconian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]- /b/ is from West Germanic stem-initial *b, in Ripuarian and northernmost Moselle Franconian also from geminated *bb.
Pronunciation
[edit]Letter
[edit]B
- A letter in the German-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
- A letter in the Dutch-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
Usage notes
[edit]- In the German-based spelling, b is doubled after short vowels except in certain function words and when the letter is followed by another consonant within the word stem. In the syllable coda, the choice between b and p may be based on internal analogy, but more often follows the German cognate.
- In the Dutch-based spelling, b is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open. In the syllable coda, internal analogy prevails.
