Ge or He (Г, г, italics: Г, г) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, representing /g/ or /ɦ/ in different languages.
It arose directly from the Greek letter gamma and both capital and small Ge look like the capital letter gamma.
In standard Serbian, Bulgarian and Macedonian languages Ge always represents voiced velar plosive /g/, i.e., it is pronounced like the G in English go.
In standard Russian, it represents a voiced velar plosive except when it is devoiced to [k] word-finally or before a voiceless consonant and represents [gʲ] 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.[1]
In the Ukrainian and Belarusian languages it is called He, and represents a voiced glottal fricative /ɦ/ (listen)—a voiced counterpart of the English h.
In Ukrainian, a voiced velar plosive is rarely present, and when present it is to be written with the Ukrainian letter ge with upturn (Ґ, ґ). In the Belarusian language, it was supposedly more frequent (to render words borrowed from Polish and Russian), but during the twentieth century the distinction in usage blurred significantly. Reintroduction of ge into the Belarusian alphabet is only proposed by some linguists and not supported officially.
