Pronunciation gmw-cfr /d/ coda [t] Letter gmw-cfr gmw-cfr letter German-based gmw-cfr letter Dutch-based Usage notes 2 Doubling of D and use in the syllable coda In the German-based spelling, d 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 d and t may be based on internal analogy, but more often follows the German cognate. In the Dutch-based spelling, d is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open. In the syllable coda, internal analogy prevails.

Pronunciation dí<qq:letter name, Filipino alphabet> dé<qq:letter name, Abecedario> dá<qq:letter name, Abakada alphabet> +<qq:phoneme> Letter tl 4 di fil 4 da abak tl historical 5 de abec Usage notes Sometimes switched with the letter tl R between vowels, W, or Y in a word due to lenition of /d/ to /ɾ/ such as tl dadaan can become tl daraan. Compare flapping in pronunciation of en medal. The letter does not change if the next consonant is an /ɾ/ (such as tl madurog does not become tl marurog) or /l/ (such as tl madilim does not become tl marilim). Some words starting with the letter can also become tl R if the last letter of the preceding word is a vowel, W, or Y. Examples are tl daw//raw, tl dito//rito, tl dami//rami, and tl damot//ramot. On all cases stated above, it is acceptable whether D or R is used. However, the said phenomena do not occur on proper nouns nor recent loan words. In the Tagalog language#Dialects Teresa-Morong dialect, the letter tl R may interchange with the letter on any position in the word even when not followed by a vowel, w, or y. (ex. tl ragat//dagat and tl bayar//bayad). Exceptions are recent loanwords, or if the next consonant after a /d/ is /ɾ/ (such as in tl durog) or /l/ (such as in tl dila). Often switched with the letter r after a vowel even on syllable endings in early texts which may indicate ancient pronunciation of words.
