Etymology

Germanic f was pronounced in some dialects of 🇨🇬 and was predominantly spelt v. This voicing was later reversed stem-initially in most dialects and stem-internally in some (including Standard German). In inherited words, the spelling mostly switched back to f accordingly. This always happened before l, r, u, ü, but otherwise there remains a number of relicts. These are the prefix, the words , and their derivatives.

In native German proper nouns, initial V is always, but the internal pronunciation is hard to predict and differs by region. For example, it is usually in northern German placenames (e.g., , ), but  in western ones (e.g. , , ).

V was retained in words of foreign origin and its pronunciation varied. The contemporary standard is normally, but always in. The words have  in Germany, but usually  in Austria. Both ways are de-facto standard in (though dictionaries may recognise only one form or the other).
