## Tagalog
### Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish D. Each pronunciation has a different source:
* Filipino alphabet pronunciation is influenced by English D.
* Abecedario pronunciation is from Spanish D.
* Abakada alphabet pronunciation is influenced by Baybayin character ᜇ (da/ra).

### Pronunciation

* (Standard Tagalog)
** IPA: /ˈdi/ [ˈd̪i] (letter name, Filipino alphabet)
*** Rhymes: -i
** IPA: /ˈde/ [ˈd̪ɛ] (letter name, Abecedario)
*** Rhymes: -e
** IPA: /ˈda/ [ˈd̪a] (letter name, Abakada alphabet)
*** Rhymes: -a
** IPA: /d/ [d̪] (phoneme)

### Letter

D (upper case, lower case d, Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒ)
* The fourth letter of the Tagalog alphabet (the Filipino alphabet), called di and written in the Latin script.
* (historical) The fifth letter of the Tagalog alphabet (the Abecedario), called de and written in the Latin script.

#### Usage notes

* Sometimes switched with the letter ⟨R⟩ between vowels, ⟨W⟩, or ⟨Y⟩ in a word due to lenition of /d/ to /ɾ/ such as dadaan can become daraan. Compare flapping in pronunciation of English medal. The letter does not change if the next consonant is an /ɾ/ (such as madurog does not become marurog) or /l/ (such as madilim does not become marilim).
* Some words starting with the letter can also become ⟨R⟩ if the last letter of the preceding word is a vowel, ⟨W⟩, or ⟨Y⟩. Examples are daw/raw, dito/rito, dami/rami, and 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 Teresa-Morong dialect, the letter R may interchange with the letter on any position in the word even when not followed by a vowel, ⟨w⟩, or ⟨y⟩. (ex. ragat/dagat and bayar/bayad). Exceptions are recent loanwords, or if the next consonant after a /d/ is /ɾ/ (such as in durog) or /l/ (such as in dila).
* Often switched with the letter ⟨r⟩ on non-initial positions in early texts which may indicate ancient pronunciation of words.
