Greek diacritics


Delta (uppercase Δ, lowercase δ; Greek: Δέλτα [ðelta], Dhelta) is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 4. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Dalet. In the Ancient Greek language, it represented a voiced dental plosive /d/, while in Modern Greek it represents a voiced dental fricative /ð/, hence it is pronounced as "th" in "that" or "this". it is romanised as either "D" or "Dh"

A river delta is so named because its shape approximates the upper-case letter delta (the shape is a triangle).
