In Other Languages

Spanish

In European Spanish, the sound is also denoted with a v. However, in some American dialects, such as Mexican spanish, the sound [v] is replaced by the sound [b] while retaining the same spelling! This leads to one of the most common mispellings in Spanish, causing people to often spell the "v" as "b" and vice-versa; for example, people might sometimes spell bajar and ventana as "vajar" and "bentana". A common workaround is to spell the "b" as B grande (big B), and the "v" as B chica (small B), since the lowercase b is taller than the lowercase v.
