'''Ge''' (Г, г; italics: <span style="font-family: times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">''Г'', ''г''</span>) is a letter of the [[Cyrillic alphabet]]. It is also known as He.

It commonly represents the sound /ɡ/ like the English pronunciation of the [[G|Latin letter G]] in "go".

==History==
The Cyrillic letter Ge was derived directly from the [[gamma|Greek letter Gamma]] (Γ, γ), but both capital and small Ge look like the capital letter Gamma.

In the [[Early Cyrillic alphabet]] its name was глаголи (''ɡlaɡoli''), meaning "do".

In the [[Cyrillic numerals|Cyrillic numeral system]], Ge had a numerical value of 3.

==Usage==
In standard [[Serbian language|Serbian]] and [[Macedonian language|Macedonian]], Ge always represents a [[voiced velar plosive]] /ɡ/.

In standard [[Russian language|Russian]], it represents a [[voiced velar plosive]] /ɡ/ except when it is devoiced to [k] word-finally or before a voiceless consonant and it represents [ɡʲ] before a [[palatalizing]] vowel. Also, in some masculine genitive and accusative case word endings, it represents /v/ when found between two vowels. In south-western Russia, the sound becomes a fricative [ɣ], and sometimes [ɦ] in regions bordering Belarus and Ukraine. It is acceptable to pronounce certain Russian words with [ɣ] (referred to as ''Ukrainian Ge''): ''Bog, bogatyj, blago, Gospod’,'' although not all speakers use or agree with this. This sound is normally considered non-standard or dialectal in Russian and is avoided by educated Russian speakers. Бог (''Bog'', “God”) is always pronounced [box] in the nominative case.<sup>[]</sup>

In the Russian adjective/pronoun ending -ого, -его, the letter Ge represents /v/, including in the word сегодня ("today", from "сего дня").

The letter Ge represents a devoiced [x] (not [k]) in front of the letter Ka in two words in Russian, namely, мягкий and лёгкий.

In Russian, the Latin letter H at the beginning of a word is transcribed with Ge rather than Kha as one might expect, for historical reasons of phonology/orthography.

In [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]], like in Russian, it represents a [[voiced velar plosive]] /ɡ/ except when it is devoiced to [k] word-finally or before a voiceless consonant and represents [ɡʲ] before a [[palatalizing]] vowel.

In the [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] and [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]] languages, Ge is called ''He'', and represents a [[voiced glottal fricative]] {{IPA|/ɦ/}}—a [[breathy voice]]d counterpart of the English [[h]], ([[Media:Con-46b.wav|listen]]).

In Ukrainian, a voiced velar plosive is rarely present, and when present it is written with the [[ge with upturn|Cyrillic letter Ge with upturn]] (Ґ, ґ).
