Latin omega, or simplyomega, is an additional letter of theLatin alphabet, based on the lowercase shape of the Greek letteromega⟨ω⟩. It was included as a Latin letter in the Mann and Dalby 1982 revision of theAfrican reference alphabet and has been used as such in some publications in theKulango languages inCôte d'Ivoire in the 1990s. In other Kulango publications the lettersV with hook⟨Ʋ⟩ orLatin upsilon⟨Ʊ⟩ are found instead.The Italian humanistGiovan Giωrgio Trissino proposed in 1524 a reform ofItalian orthography that included lowercase and uppercase omega for the open⟨o⟩ sound ([ɔ]).[1]He later re-assigned it to the closed⟨o⟩ ([o]).[2]
