Ǧ (miniscule:ǧ), calledG with caron, is a letter used in several Latin orthographies.[1]
In theRomany andSkolt Sami languages, it represents the palatalizedg[ɟ͡ʝ].
It has also been used inCzech andSlovak orthographies until the middle of the19th century to represent avoiced velar plosive (IPA:[g]; theEnglishG-sound), whereas a regular ⟨G⟩ stood for avoiced palatal approximant (IPA:[j]; the EnglishY-sound in).
In the romanization ofPashto,Persian, andSouth Azeri, ⟨ǧ⟩ is used to represent avoiced velar fricative (IPA:[ɣ]; same as theArabic letterGhayn ⟨غ⟩).
In theBerber Latin andResian alphabets, ⟨ǧ⟩ is pronounced as avoiced postalveolar affricate (IPA:[d͡ʒ]; an EnglishJ-sound).
InLakota, ⟨ǧ⟩ represents avoiced uvular fricative (IPA:[ʁ]; an EnglishR-sound)
InHeiltsuk, it represents a plain uvular plosive[q].
In theDIN 31635Arabic transliteration, it represents the letterǦīm ⟨ﺝ⟩.
InLatvian, ⟨ǧ⟩ is also used as a handwritten form of ⟨ģ⟩, particularly in cursive writing.
