AA (named ā in the English, and most commonly ä in other languages). The first letter of the English and of many other alphabets. The capital A of the alphabets of Middle and Western Europe, as also the small letter (a), besides the forms in Italic, black letter, etc., are all descended from the old Latin A, which was borrowed from the Greek Alpha, of the same form; and this was made from the first letter (�) of the Phœnician alphabet, the equivalent of the Hebrew Aleph, and itself from the Egyptian origin. The Aleph was a consonant letter, with a guttural breath sound that was not an element of Greek articulation; and the Greeks took it to represent their vowel Alpha with the ä sound, the Phœnician alphabet having no vowel symbols.
This letter, in English, is used for several different vowel sounds. See Guide to pronunciation, §§ 43-74. The regular long a, as in fate, etc., is a comparatively modern sound, and has taken the place of what, till about the early part of the 17th century, was a sound of the quality of ä (as in far).
2. (Mus.) The name of the sixth tone in the model major scale (that in C), or the first tone of the minor scale, which is named after it the scale in A minor. The second string of the violin is tuned to the A in the treble staff. -- A sharp (A♯) is the name of a musical tone intermediate between A and B. -- A flat (A♭) is the name of a tone intermediate between A and G.
A per se (L. per se by itself), one preëminent; a nonesuch. [Obs.]
O fair Creseide, the flower and A per se
Of Troy and Greece. Chaucer.
AA (ȧ emph. ā).
1. [Shortened form of an. AS. ān one. See One.] An adjective, commonly called the indefinite article, and signifying one or any, but less emphatically. “At a birth”; “In a word”; “At a blow”. Shak. It is placed before nouns of the singular number denoting an individual object, or a quality individualized, before collective nouns, and also before plural nouns when the adjective few or the phrase great many or good many is interposed; as, a dog, a house, a man; a color; a sweetness; a hundred, a fleet, a regiment; a few persons, a great many days. It is used for an, for the sake of euphony, before words beginning with a consonant sound [for exception of certain words beginning with h, see An]; as, a table, a woman, a year, a unit, a eulogy, a ewe, a oneness, such a one, etc. Formally an was used both before vowels and consonants.
2. [Originally the preposition a (an, on).] In each; to or for each; as, “twenty leagues a day”, “a hundred pounds a year”, “a dollar a yard”, etc.
AA (ȧ), prep. [Abbreviated form of an (AS. on). See On.]
1. In; on; at; by. [Obs.] “A God's name.” “Torn a pieces.” “Stand a tiptoe.” “A Sundays” Shak. “Wit that men have now a days.” Chaucer. “Set them a work.” Robynson (More's Utopia).
2. In process of; in the act of; into; to; -- used with verbal substantives in -ing which begin with a consonant. This is a shortened form of the preposition an (which was used before the vowel sound); as in a hunting, a building, a begging. “Jacob, when he was a dying” Heb. xi. 21. “We'll a birding together.” “ It was a doing.” Shak. “He burst out a laughing.” Macaulay. The hyphen may be used to connect a with the verbal substantive (as, a-hunting, a-building) or the words may be written separately. This form of expression is now for the most part obsolete, the a being omitted and the verbal substantive treated as a participle.
AA. [From AS. of off, from. See Of.] Of. [Obs.] “The name of John a Gaunt.” “What time a day is it ?” Shak. “It's six a clock.” B. Jonson.
AA. A barbarous corruption of have, of he, and sometimes of it and of they. “So would I a done” “A brushes his hat.” Shak.
AA. An expletive, void of sense, to fill up the meter
A merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-a. Shak.
A-A-. A, as a prefix to English words, is derived from various sources. (1) It frequently signifies on or in (from an, a forms of AS. on), denoting a state, as in afoot, on foot, abed, amiss, asleep, aground, aloft, away (AS. onweg), and analogically, ablaze, atremble, etc. (2) AS. of off, from, as in adown (AS. ofdūne off the dun or hill). (3) AS. ā- (Goth. us-, ur-, Ger. er-), usually giving an intensive force, and sometimes the sense of away, on, back, as in arise, abide, ago. (4) Old English y- or i- (corrupted from the AS. inseparable particle ge-, cognate with OHG. ga-, gi-, Goth. ga-), which, as a prefix, made no essential addition to the meaning, as in aware. (5) French à (L. ad to), as in abase, achieve. (6) L. a, ab, abs, from, as in avert. (7) Greek insep. prefix α without, or privative, not, as in abyss, atheist; akin to E. un-.
Besides these, there are other sources from which the prefix a takes its origin.

The letter A is the first letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is a (IPA /eɪ/).
HistoryThe letter A began as a pictogram of an ox head in Egyptian hieroglyphs or the Proto-semitic alphabet.
By 1600 BC, the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the basis for some later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew aleph. The name is also similar to the Arabic alif. When the Ancient Greeks adopted the alphabet, they had no use for the glottal stop that the letter had denoted in Phoenician and other Semitic languages, so they used the sign for the vowel /a/, and changed its name to alpha. In the earliest Greek inscriptions after the Greek Dark Ages, dating to the 8th century BC, the letter rests upon its side, but in the Greek alphabet of later times it generally resembles the modern capital letter, although many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of one leg, or by the angle at which the cross line is set. The Etruscans brought the Greek alphabet to what was Italy and left the letter unchanged. The Romans later adopted the Etruscan alphabet to write Latin, and the resulting letter was preserved in the modern Latin alphabet used to write many languages, including English.
The letter has two minuscule (lower-case) forms. The form used in most current handwriting consists of a circle and vertical stroke (ɑ). Most printed material uses a form consisting of a small loop with an arc over it (a). Both derive from the majuscule (capital) form. In Greek handwriting, it was common to join the left leg and horizontal stroke into a single loop, as demonstrated by the Uncial version shown. Many fonts then made the right leg vertical. In some of these, the serif that began the right leg stroke developed into an arc, resulting in the printed form, while in others it was dropped, resulting in the modern handwritten form. UsageIn English, the letter "A" by itself usually denotes the near-open front unrounded vowel (/æ/) as in pad, the open back unrounded vowel (/ɑː/) as in father, or, in concert with a later orthographic vowel, the diphthong /eɪ/ (though the pronunciation varies with the dialect) as in ace and major, due to effects of the Great vowel shift. In most other languages that use the Latin alphabet, the letter A denotes either an open back unrounded vowel (/ɑ/), or an open central unrounded vowel (/a/). In the International Phonetic Alphabet, variants of the letter A denote various vowels. In X-SAMPA, capital A denotes the open back unrounded vowel and lowercase a denotes the open front unrounded vowel. A is the third-most common letter in English, and the second-most common in Spanish and French. On average, about 3.6% of letters in English tend to be as, while the number is 6.2% in Spanish and 4% in French.[1] A also is the English indefinite article, extended to an before a vowel. See a, an. A- also is a prefix that serves to negate the morpheme to which it is attached, such as amoral, apolitical, etc. Codes for computingAlternative representations of A
In Unicode the capital A is codepoint U+0041 and the lowercase a is U+0061. In Hex, A is the character used to represent decimal 10, or in binary, 01010 The ASCII code for capital A is 65 and for lowercase a is 97; or in binary 01000001 and 01100001, correspondingly. The EBCDIC code for capital A is 193 and for lowercase a is 129. The numeric character references in HTML and XML are "A" and "a" for upper and lower case respectively. Meanings of A

AšFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aš (IPA: [aʃ], German: Asch) is a city in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. HistoryThe town was founded in the 11th century by German colonists. The dialect spoken in the town was that of the Upper Palatinate, also known as northern Bavarian. In the adjacent Saxon Vogtland, which borders Karlovy Vary on the north, this dialect is only found in localities lying on the Czech border such as Adorf and Markneukirchen. The Upper Palatinate dialect has a stronger presence in the Bad Brambach region, where it is known as Southern Vogtlandic (Südvogtländisch). The first recorded rulers were the Vögte von Weida, who gave the Bohemian Vogtland region its name. In 1281, they turned control of the region over to the Holy Roman Emperor. 1331 – Town and lands purchased by king John I of Bohemia. 1394 – Konrad von Neuburg dies without a male heir, and by virtue of Hedwig von Neuburg's marriage to Konrad von Zedtwitz, Aš passes into the control of the Zedtwitz family. 1557 – Region claimed for the Bohemian crown by Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, bur remains Protestant. 1775 – Aš obtains freedom of religion from Maria Theresia. 1854 – A county legal code is granted to the region, ending five centuries of legal control by the Zedtwitz family. 1864 – Aš is linked to the Eger – Hof railway line. 1872 – City status obtained, as the population grows due to a flourishing textile industry. 1918 – A soldiers' council seizes power and rejects the demands of separatists from Eger for annexation to Bavaria. 1937 – The Third Reich aligned Sudeten German Party takes over in Aš. Czech residents leave. March 21, 1938 – Aš region occupied by Sudeten German Freikorps. 1939 – Population approximately 23,000. April 20, 1945 – Occupied by U.S. Army. After the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia in 1946, the city's population was reduced to scarcely half its former number. Factories and workplaces were closed. The population shrank further in 1950 due to the establishment of the Iron Curtain nearby, with more businesses shuttered. External links

.as is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for American Samoa. It is administered by AS Domain Registry. There is no restriction on the nationality of registrants, and many .as names are registered to and used by people, companies, and organizations with no connection to American Samoa. "AS" or "A/S" is a suffix indicating a joint stock company in some countries including Norway and Denmark, so this TLD gets some use by companies of this sort. "As" is also an English word, which may have motivated some registration domain hacks such as pass.as, among others. Also it is used in Asturias by lack of an own dominion. External links

ÃFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIn Portuguese, the character Ã/ã represents a nasal central unrounded vowel, normally transcribed in IPA as /ɐ̃/ (its exact height varies from near-open to mid according to the speaker's dialect). Because it is a typically Portuguese character, it is sometimes used as a symbol of the Portuguese language. Portuguese has five nasal vowels:

ÄFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"Ä", or "ä", is a glyph which represents either a letter from several extended Latin alphabets, the letter A with umlaut or diaeresis.
Letter Ä
Ä in German Sign Language
The letter Ä occurs in the Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, and Slovak alphabets, where it represents a vowel sound. In Finnish this is always [æ]; in Estonian regional variation allows for either [æ] and [ɛ]. In Swedish the letter is pronounced [æ] when directly preceding an r, elsewhere as [ɛ] (regional variations exist). Note that unlike the A umlaut (see below), the letter Ä cannot be written as "ae". In Finnish, for example, there are a large number of such minimal pairs, e.g. hän ~ haen "s/he ~ I seek". In Swedish and Finnish, its name is Ä [æː], not "A with two dots", since Ä represents an unrelated phoneme to A. It is considered a distinct letter separate from A, and placed in the Swedish and Finnish alphabets after Z and Å but before Ö. In the Slovak language Ä stands for [ɛ] (or a bit archaic but still correct [æ]). The diacritical sign is called dve bodky ("two dots"), and the full name of the letter "ä" is a s dvomi bodkami ("a with two dots"). A-umlaut
Johann Martin Schleyer proposed an alternate form for Ä in Volapük but it was rarely used. Its uppercase form resembled a Cyrillic ya.
A similar glyph, A with umlaut, appears in the German alphabet. It represents the umlauted form of a, resulting in [æ] or [ɛ]. With respect to diphthongs, Ä behaves as an E, e.g. Bäume /boimə/ (engl.: trees), just as if it was written Beume. The letter is collated together with A. The letter also occurs in some languages which have adopted German names or spellings, but is not a part of these languages' alphabets. In other languages that do not have the letter as part of the regular alphabet or in limited character sets such as ASCII, A-umlaut is frequently replaced with the two-letter combination "ae". In the Icelandic, Danish and Norwegian alphabets, A-umlaut is mostly replaced with its equivalent "Æ". TypographyHistorically A-diaeresis was written as an A with two dots above the letter. A-umlaut was written as an A with a small e written above: this minute e degenerated to two vertical bars in medieval handwritings. In most later handwritings these bars in turn nearly became dots. Æ, a highly similar ligature evolving from the same origin as Ä, evolved in the Icelandic, Danish and Norwegian alphabets. The Æ ligature was also common in Old English, but had largely disappeared in Middle English. In modern typography there was insufficient space on typewriters and later computer keyboards to allow for both A-diaeresis (also representing Ä) and A-umlaut. Since they looked near-identical the two glyphs were combined, which was also done in computer character encodings such as ISO 8859-1. As a result there was no way to differentiate between the different characters. While Unicode theoretically provides a solution, this is almost never used. Ä is also used to represent the ə (the schwa sign) in situations where the glyph is unavailable, as used in the Tatar and Azeri languages. Turkmen started to use Ä officially instead of schwa. The HTML entity for Ä is Ä. For ä, it is ä (Mnemonic for "A umlaut"). The Unicode code point for ä is U+00E4. Ä is U+00C4. Ä in CyrillicLook up ä in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Ä is used in some alphabets invented in the 19th century which are based on the Cyrillic alphabet. These include Mari, Altay and the Keräşen Tatar alphabet.

ÅsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFor other uses, see Ås (disambiguation).
Ås is a municipality in the county of Akershus, Norway. It covers 103 km², and has 14,472 inhabitants as of January 1, 2005. Ås is best known for the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB, formerly Agricultural University of Norway, NLH) and the Tusenfryd amusement park, though lesser recognised attractions as the DaVinci bridge are – unfortunately – often well kept secrets for tourists and unfamiliars. Ås has also raised widely known people as Vibeke Løkkeberg, Solveig Kringlebotn, Christian Magnus Falsen, Simen Agdestein and Knut Hjeltnes, among many others. Through Ås runs both European route E6 and European route E18 (the two largest highways of Norway), and many of the inhabitants commute to Oslo, the capital of Norway. The most important source of income is agriculture. Ås is the largest agricultural municipal of Akershus, providing the whole region with corn and vegetables, plus dairy products. 80% of the land is cultivated, but that doesn’t prevent Ås from also being one of the leading municipals in Norway within technology, industry and a lot of other new developments in science and engineering. The nameThe municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old farm Ås (Norse Áss), since the first church was built there. The name is identical with the word áss m 'mountain ridge'. Until 1921 the name was written "Aas". Coat-of-armsThe coat-of-arms is from modern times (1982). The rhombus is meant to represent a Nøstvet ax (a type of stone ax from the Old Stone Age, found in the municipality). And the number of three is meant to represent the three parishes of the municipality: Ås, Kroer and Nordby.
The da Vinci bridge
A recreation in a smaller scale of a 240 m span bridge that Leonardo da Vinci proposed in 1502 for the crossing of the Bosphorus is located in the municipality. It was created by Norwegian painter and artist Vebjørn Sand as part of his Da Vinci project. The bridge serves as a pedestrian crossing over European route E18. References

ÅFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFor other uses, see Å (disambiguation).
The letter Å represents various o sounds in the Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, North Frisian, Walloon, Chamorro and Istro-Romanian language alphabets. Other alphabets using the letter include the Lule Sami, Skolt Sami and Southern Sami alphabet. Å is often perceived as an A with a ring, interpreting the ring as a diacritical mark. However, in the languages that use it the ring is not considered a diacritic, but part of the letter. Rather, the letter developed as a form of semi-ligature of an A with another smaller a above it to denote a long a, similar to how the umlaut mark ¨ is developed from a small e written above the letter in question. To many people it is most familiar as the "Ångström sign".
Scandinavian languages
Closeup on Å, Ä, and Ö on a Swedish/Finnish keyboard.
The letter Å in Scandinavian alphabets represents two sounds, one short and one long.
OriginIn historical linguistics the Å-sound has the same origin as the long /aː/ sound in German Aal and Haar (Scandinavian ål, hår, English "eel", "hair"). Historically the letter Å is correspondent to the Old Norse vowel á. This was a long /aː/ sound, but over time, the vowel developed to an [ɔ](open o) sound. Medieval writing often used doubled letters for long vowels, and the vowel continued to be written Aa. In Swedish the letter Å replaced Aa in the 16th century. In an attempt to modernize the orthography, linguists tried to introduce the Å to Danish and Norwegian writing in the 19th century. Most people felt no need for the new letter, although the letter group Aa had already been pronounced like Å for centuries all over Scandinavia. Aa was usually treated as a single letter, spoken like the present Å when spelling out names or words. Orthography reforms making Å official were carried out in Norway in 1917 and in Denmark in 1948. It has been argued that the Å only made its way to official Danish spelling due to anti-German and pro-Scandinavian sentiment after World War II. Danish had been the only language apart from German to use capitalized nouns, but abolished them at the same occasion. Icelandic and Faroese are the only Scandinavian languages not to use the letter Å. The Old Norse letter á is retained, but has become a diphtong, pronounced [au] in Icelandic and [ɔa] in Faroese. The short variation of Faroese á is pronunced [ɔ], though. TranscriptionSince Å is a letter with a distinct sound, not an A with an accent, it is best to keep it when referring to Scandinavian words and names in other languages. However, in Danish and Norwegian, Aa is widely known as the old way of writing Å, used until first part of the 20th century, and a fully functional transcription for Å when using a foreign keyboard. Use in namesIn some names of geographical places, the old Aa spelling is dominating, more often in Denmark than in Norway. Locals of Aalborg and Aabenraa resist the Å, whereas Århus and Ålesund rarely are seen with Aa spelling. Official rules allow both forms in the most common cases, but Å is always correct. In personal names the bearer of the name uses Aa or Å according to his choice. Most people keep to the traditional Aa style, Aagaard being much more common than Ågård. Company names are also written as the owner decides. Sometimes the Aa spelling is used to imply a conservative or nostalgic feeling. It is also common for people whose last name begins with "Aa" to use this in their initials. For instance, a person named Hans Aaberg could therefore use the initials "H.Aa." instead of "H.A.". Place in alphabetCorrect alphabetization in Danish and Norwegian places Aa along with Å as the last letter in the alphabet, the sequence being Æ, Ø, Å/Aa. Unless manually corrected, a sorting algorithms of programs localised for Danish or Norwegian will place e.g. Aaron after Zorro. In Danish / Norwegian books, a distinction is made between foreign and local words so e.g. the German city Aachen would be listed under "A" but the Danish city "Aabenraa" would be listed after "Z". In the Swedish alphabet, Å is sorted after Z, as the third letter from the end, the sequence being Å, Ä, Ö. In the Finnish alphabet, it is carried over from the Swedish alphabet, but has no native use and is treated as in Swedish, but its usage is limited to names of Swedish origin. Å as a wordIn the Norwegian, Danish and Swedish languages, å is also a word, meaning a stream or a small river, and thus common in place names. In standard Norwegian and frequently in spoken Swedish it is also the mark for infinitive: å ta = "to take". Walloon writingÅ was introduced to some local variants of eastern-Walloon dialect at the beginning of the 20th century, initially to note the same sound as in Danish. Its use quickly spread to all the eastern-Walloon dialects, through the cultural influence of the city of Liège, and covered three sounds, a long open o, a long close o, or a long a, depending on the local varieties. The use of a single å letter to cover those pronunciations has been embraced by the new pan-Walloon orthography, that systemizes a unique orthography for words that are the same, regardless of the local phonetic variations. In non-standardized writings outside the Liège area, words containing the å letter are written with au, â or ô depending on the pronunciation. For example the word måjhon (house) in standardized orthography is written môjo, mâhon, mohone, maujon in dialectal writings. Istro-Romanian writingThe Istro-Romanian alphabet is based on the standard Romanian alphabet with three additional letters used to mark sounds specific only to this dialect: å, ľ and ń. The letter å represents the [ɔ] sound as in Scandinavian languages. Symbol for ångströmThe letter "Å" (U+00C5) is also used throughout the world as the international symbol for the non-SI unit ångström, a physical unit of length named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström. It is always upper case in this context. (Symbols for units named for persons are generally upper-case.) Unicode also has encoded U+212B for the Ångström symbol. However, that is canonically equivalent to the ordinary letter Å. The duplicate encoding at U+212B is due to round-trip mapping compatibility with an East-Asian character encoding, and should be seen as a mistake not to be used. On computers
Danish keyboard with keys for Æ, Ø and Å.
On Norwegian keyboards the Æ and Ø trade places. For computers, when using the ISO 8859-1 or Unicode sets, the codes for "Å" and "å" are respectively 197 and 229, or C5 and E5 in hexadecimal. In (X)HTML character entity references, required in cases where the letter is not available by ordinary coding, the codes are On an X window system with Compose key enabled, press Compose and then aa, or Compose and then a*. To type "å" with an US-International keyboard layout on Microsoft Windows, hold the right-Alt and the "w" key, and the Å in the same way with the addition of the Shift key . Or hold the Alt key and type 0197 or 143 on the numeric keypad for "Å", and for "å" hold the Alt key and type 0229 or 134 on the numeric keypad. To type "Å" with an Apple Computer using a US keyboard layout, hold the Option key and the Shift key simultaneously and type the A key. To type "å" with an Apple Computer, hold the Option key and type the A key. Faux-ÅThe logo of the Major League Baseball team now known as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is a capital "A" with a halo. Due to the resemblance, many Angels fans often type the name as "Ångels". This usage is similar to a heavy metal umlaut. Occasionally they use "Å" and "å" in other words, such as "Ånåheim", "chåmpionship", and "rålly monkey". The logo of the TV series Stargate resembles "STARGÅTE". In Finnish, writing 'o' as 'å' is used as a comical device for the Swedish language, in a manner similar to using faux Cyrillic for Russian.

ĀFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaĀ, lowercase ā, is a grapheme, a Latin A with a macron, is used in several orthographies. In the Latvian alphabet, Ā represents a distinct vowel and comes after A and before B in alphabetical order: for instance baznīca comes before bārda in a Latvian dictionary. It is considered as a separate letter in the Latvian alphabet. Ā is used to denote a long A in Latvian. In some languages Ā is used to denote a long A. Examples are the Polynesian languages, including Māori, some romanizations of Japanese (rōmaji) and Arabic, and some Latin texts (especially for learners). It is used in some orthography-based transcriptions of English to represent the diphthong [eɪ] ([eː] in some dialects), and also in commercial names such as Drāno and Powerāde. In Pinyin, Ā denotes A in the first tone of Mandarin Chinese. In all these languages, Ā is sorted with other As and is not considered a separate letter. The macron is only considered when sorting words that are otherwise identical. For example, in Māori, tāu (meaning your) comes after tau (meaning year), but before taumata (hill). UnicodeIn Unicode, Ā is code 256 (hex 100) and ā is code 257 (hex 101). These are the first codes that come after the initial ISO-8859-1 subset of Unicode.

ĂFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaĂ (upper case) or ă (lower case), usually referred to in English as A-breve, is a letter used in standard Romanian language and Vietnamese language orthographies. In Romanian, it is used to represent the mid-central unrounded vowel, while in Vietnamese it represents the short a sound. It is the second letter of both the Romanian and the Vietnamese alphabets. Ă/ă is also used in official transcription of Bulgarian letter Ъ/ъ into the Czech and Slovak languages. RomanianThe sound represented in Romanian by ă, although called a schwa (misleadingly suggesting an unstressed lax sound), is a vowel in its own right. Unlike English or French, but similar to Bulgarian and Afrikaans, it can be stressed. There are words in which it is the only vowel, such as "măr" /mər/ (apple) or "văd" /vəd/ (I see). Additionally, some words which also contain other vowels can have the stress on ă, like in the examples "cărțile" /'kər.ʦi.le/ (the books) and "odăi" /o'dəj/ (rooms). See alsoLook up ă in
