V

1. The twenty-second letter used in Pinyin.

• 《汉语拼音方案》 defines a standard pronunciation for each letter. However, these pronunciations are rarely used in education; another pronunciation is commonly used instead.
• The pronunciation above are only used while referring to letters in Pinyin. They are not used in other context (such as English).
• The official pronunciation defined in 《汉语拼音方案》, ㄪㄝ, uses a symbol that is obsolete in modern Mandarin. Usually w is used instead as the initial.

• In Hanyu Pinyin, the letter v is unused, except in spelling foreign languages, languages of minority nationalities, and some dialects, despite a conscious effort to distribute letters more evenly than in Western languages. However, the ease of typing into a computer causes the v to be sometimes used to replace ü.
