Letter А, page from Elisabeth Boehm's Azbuka

А (А а; italics: А а or А а; italics: А а) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It commonly represents an open central unrounded vowel /ä/, halfway between the pronunciation of ⟨a⟩ 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 (Α α). In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was азъ (azǔ), meaning the personal pronoun "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 standardized 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, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbian, Macedonian and Montenegrin – the Cyrillic letter А represents the open central unrounded vowel /a/. In Ingush and Chechen the Cyrillic letter А represents both the open back unrounded vowel /ɑ/ when stressed and the mid-central vowel /ə/ when unstressed. In Turkic languages that use the Cyrillic script it represents the open back unrounded vowel /ɑ/, with the exception of Volga Tatar, in which it represents the open back rounded vowel /ɒ/, and Uzbek, in which it represents the near-open front unrounded vowel /æ/. In languages that contrast vowel length the letter can be written as a double vowel.[1]
