Its uppercase version is visually similar to the uppercase of the Greek letter rho (Ρ) and Cyrillic letter er (Р).

History

The Semitic Pê (mouth), as well as the Greek Π or π (Pi), and the Etruscan and Latin letters that developed from the former alphabet, all symbolized /p/, a voiceless bilabial plosive.

Usage

In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive. Both initial and final Ps can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words. A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in N to assume an M sound before Ps (such as \"in\" + \"pulse\" → \"impulse\" — see also List of Latin words with English derivatives).

A common digraph in English is \"ph\", which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/, and can be used to transliterate Phi (φ) in loanwords from Greek. In German, the digraph \"pf\" is common, representing a labial affricate of /pf/.

Those who speak Arabic are usually unaccustomed to pronouncing Ps; they pronounce it as /b/ instead..
