P (minuscule : p), called Turned P, is an additional Latin letter that was used in the writing of some Siouan languages, primarily by James Owen Dorsey in the 19th century. Its lowercase form is used in the Anthropos alphabet, the phonetic notation of the journal Anthropos.[1]. It is based on a rotated form of the letter P.
It is not to be confused with the latin letter D, which has a very similar lowercase form.
Usage[edit]
James Owen Dorsey used "turned p" in his published work to denote the phoneme [pː], a tense consonant present in three Dhegihan languages: Omaha-Ponca, Quapaw and Kanza. It was also used for Osage, but erroneously so, since [pː] does not exist in that language; it has a preaspirated [ʰp] instead.
In the Anthropos alphabet , ⟨p⟩ is used to represent a bilabial click.
