A

A (minuscule: a) is the first letter and the first vowel letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''a'' (pronounced as in ''say''), plural ''aes''.

It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version is often written in one of two forms: the double-storey and single-storey . The latter form is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type. Provided by Wikipedia
