Letter А, page from Elisabeth Boehm's Azbuka

А (А а; italics: А а) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It commonly represents an open central unrounded vowel Шаблон:IPA, halfway between the pronunciation of Шаблон:Angle bracket in "cat" and "father". The Cyrillic letter А is romanized using the Latin letter A.

History

The Cyrillic letter А was derived directly from the Greek letter Alpha (Шаблон:Lang). In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was Шаблон:Script (azǔ), meaning "I". In the Cyrillic numeral system, the Cyrillic letter А has a value of 1.

Form

Throughout history, the Cyrillic letter А has had various shapes, but today is standardised on one that looks exactly like the Latin letter A, including the italic and lower case forms.

Usage

In most languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet – such as Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbian, Macedonian and Montenegrin – the Cyrillic letter А represents the open central unrounded vowel Шаблон:IPA. In Ukrainian, the letter represents the open back unrounded vowel /ɑ/. In Ingush and Chechen the Cyrillic letter А represents both the Шаблон:IPA and the mid-central vowel Шаблон:IPA. In Tuvan the letter can be written as a double vowel.[1][2] Шаблон:Anchor
