Usage
In the Romany and Skolt Sami languages, it represents the palatalized g [ɟ͡ʝ].
It has also been used in Czech and Slovak orthographies until the middle of the 19th century to represent a voiced velar plosive (IPA: [g]; the English hard G-sound), whereas a regular ⟨G⟩ stood for a voiced palatal approximant (IPA: [j]; the English consonantal Y-sound).
In the romanization of Pashto, Persian, and South Azeri, ⟨ǧ⟩ is used to represent a voiced velar fricative (IPA: [ɣ]; same as the Arabic letter Ghayn ⟨غ⟩).
In the Berber Latin and Resian alphabets, ⟨ǧ⟩ is pronounced as a voiced postalveolar affricate (IPA: [d͡ʒ]; an English J-sound).
In Lakota, ⟨ǧ⟩ represents a voiced uvular fricative (IPA: [ʁ]; an R-sound pronounced back in the throat)
In Heiltsuk, it represents a plain uvular plosive [q].
In the DIN 31635 Arabic transliteration, it represents the letter Ǧīm ⟨ﺝ⟩.
In Latvian, ⟨ǧ⟩ is also used as a handwritten form of ⟨ģ⟩, particularly in cursive writing.
