Usage[edit]
In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive. Both initial and final ‹p›s can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words. A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in ‹n› to assume an ‹m› sound before ‹p›s (such as: in + pulse → impulse — see: List of Latin words with English derivatives).
A common digraph in English is ‹ph›, which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/, and can be used to transliterate Phi (‹φ›) in loanwords from Greek. In German, the digraph ‹pf› is common, representing a labial affricate of /pf/.
Arabic speakers are usually unaccustomed to pronouncing /p/; they pronounce it as /b/. In words that Arabic inherited from the Proto-Semitic language, /p/ is usually pronounced /f/.
Most English words beginning with P are of foreign origin, primar

Worldwide distribution of bat species
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera (/kaɪˈrɒptərə/; from the Greek χείρ - cheir, "hand"[2] and πτερόν - pteron, "wing"[3]) whose forelimbs form webbed wings, making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. By contrast, other mammals said to fly, such as flying squirrels, gliding possums, and colugos, can only glide for short distances. Bats do not flap their entire forelimbs, as birds do, but instead flap their spread-out digits,[4] which are very long and covered with a thin membrane or patagium.
Bats represent about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with about 1,240 bat species divided into two suborders: the less specialized and largely fruit-eating megabats, or flying foxes, and the highly specialized and
