Latin beta, is an additional letter of the Latin script. Its shape is based on the lowercase shape of the Greek letter beta ⟨β⟩. The letter is used in the various languages of Gabon and has been used in Ndaʼndaʼ language in Cameroon to represent the voiced bilabial fricative, a sound similar to ⟨v⟩ articulated with both lips. It is neither typographically nor linguistically related to the similar looking letter eszett ⟨ẞ, ß⟩ used in German orthography, which represents an sound when following long vowels or diphthongs.
