Central Franconian
Etymology
- /ʋ/ is from West Germanic stem-initial *w.
- For the origin of /v/, see V.
Pronunciation
- /ʋ/, (chiefly Moselle Franconian also) /v/, (coda) [f]
Letter
W
- A letter in the German-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
- A letter in the Dutch-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
Usage notes
- /ʋ/ is regularly represented by w in all systems.
- In the German-based spelling of Moselle Franconian, /v/ is normally spelt w as it is a post-vocalic allophone of /ʋ/.
- In the German-based spelling of Ripuarian, /v/ is normally spelt v, but w may be used in iwig, Löw, Möw after the German cognate. A phonemic distinction from /ʋ/ is doubtful and exists at most in very rare cases.
- In Aachen and the Netherlands there is a clear phonemic distinction between w /ʋ/ and v /v/, and these are thus kept apart.
- In the German-based spelling, w 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 w and f may be based on internal analogy, but f is often used throughout or after the German cognate.
- In the Dutch-based spelling, w is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open.

Usage notes
- In the Finnish alphabet, W is a variant of V.
