g
The letter g in German refers to the seventh letter of the English alphabet.
Did you know?
- In German handwriting, specifically in the old Sütterlin script, the lowercase g looks nothing like the modern Latin 'g' and can be easily confused with other characters.
- In musical notation, German uses g for the note G, but it uses different letters for other notes, such as h instead of 'B'.
- In German, the name of the letter g is pronounced with a hard 'g' sound as in 'gift', but in many German dialects, a 'g' at the end of a word transforms into a 'k' sound.
