Ġ

Ġ (minuscule: ġ) is a letter of the Latin script, formed from G with the addition of a dot above the letter.

Ġ is used in some Arabic transliteration schemes, such as DIN 31635 and ISO 233, to represent the letter غ (ġayn).

Ġ is used in the romanization of Classical or Eastern Armenian to represent the letter Ղ/ղ (ġat).

Ġ is present in the Chechen Latin alphabet, created in the 1990s. The Cyrillic equivalent is гI, which represents the sound /ɣ/.

In some dialects of the Iñupiaq language, an Eskaleut language, Ġ is used to represent the voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/.

Ġ was formerly used in Irish to represent the lenited form of G. The digraph gh is now used.

Ġ is the 7th letter of the Maltese alphabet, preceded by F and followed by G. Pronounced as the English "J" in Jam. It represents the voiced postalveolar affricate [dʒ].

⟨ġ⟩ is sometimes (about 16th century) used to represent real [g], to distinguish it from the letter ⟨g⟩, which represented the consonant [j].
