Usage and pronunciation of accented G letters
The most prominent modified G in modern orthography is the Turkish ğ (yumuşak ge), meaning "soft G". In Turkish, ğ never appears at the beginning of a word; instead, it serves to lengthen preceding vowels or facilitate a smooth glide between adjacent vowel sounds without a velar stop consonant.
Maltese orthography uses the overdot on G (ġ) to represent a voiced postalveolar affricate ('j' sound), contrasting with plain G which represents a hard velar stop ('g' in gold). Latvian uses the cedilla/comma below (ģ) for a palatalized voiced plosive. Browse more letter forms in letterlike symbols.
