Editing V (section)

===Romance languages===
The letter represents {{IPAslink|v}} in several [[Romance languages]], but in others it represents the same sound as {{vr|b}}, i.e. {{IPAslink|b}}, due to a process known as [[betacism]]. Betacism occurs in most dialects of [[Spanish language|Spanish]], in some dialects of [[Catalan language|Catalan]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], as well as in [[Aragonese language|Aragonese]], [[Asturleonese language|Asturleonese]] and [[Galician language|Galician]].

In Spanish, the phoneme has two main [[allophones]]; in most environments, it is pronounced {{IPA|{{IPAblink|β̞}}|lang=es}}, but after a pause or a [[Nasal consonant|nasal]] it is typically {{IPAblink|b|lang=es}}. See [[Spanish phonology#Consonants|Allophones of /b d g/ in Spanish phonology]] for a more thorough discussion.

In [[Corsican language|Corsican]], {{vr|v}} represents {{IPAblink|b}}, {{IPAblink|v}}, {{IPAblink|β}} or {{IPAblink|w}}, depending on the position in the word and the sentence.
