Ǵ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Majuscule and minuscule ǵ.

Ǵ (minuscule: ǵ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed by putting an acute accent over the letter G. The letter represents the Pashto letter geh (ږ), the Macedonian letter gje (Ѓ),[1] and the Karakalpak phoneme /ɣ/ (Cyrillic Ғ), and appears in the Cantonese Yale multigraphs and nǵh. The letter is also used to transcribe the Old Church Slavic letter djerv ().[2]

The 2019 reformed alphabet[3] for Uzbek also contains this letter. It is currently represented by (Cyrillic Ғ).

The 2018 revision of the Kazakh Latin alphabet uses the letter as a replacement for the Cyrillic Ғ, which represents [ʁ]. In 2019, the letter was replaced by Ğ.
