A (А, а) is the first letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.
It arose directly from the Greek letter alpha. In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was "азъ" (old spelling) az (azǔ) and it had a numerical value of 1.
In many languages that use Cyrillic, such as Russian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian, it denotes /a/. It may also represent /ɑ/ and /ə/ in languages such as Ingush and Chechen.
In the romanization systems for the Russian, Bulgarian, and Ukrainian languages, it is romanized as the Latin letter A.
Through history, it has had various shapes, but today is standardised on one that looks exactly like the Latin a (including the italicized form).
