Usage in various languages
editChinese
editIn Chinese pinyin, ò is the yángqù tone (阳去, falling tone) of "o".
Emilian
editÒ is used to represent Emilian pronunciation: [ɔː], e.g. òs Emilian pronunciation: [ɔːs] "bone".
Italian
editIn Italian, the grave accent is used over any vowel to indicate word-final stress: Niccolò (equivalent of Nicholas and the forename of Machiavelli).
It can also be used on the nonfinal vowels o and e to indicate that the vowel is stressed and that it is open: còrso, "Corsican", vs. córso, "course"/"run", the past participle of "correre". Ò represents the open-mid back rounded vowel /ɔ/ and È represents the open-mid front unrounded vowel /ɛ/.
Kashubian
editÒ is the 28th letter of the Kashubian alphabet and represents /wɛ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨we⟩ in "wet".
Lombard
editIt is used to represent vocalic phonemes /ɔ/ and /ɔː/ in every tonic occurrence to distinguish them from /o/ and /oː/ represented by O, e.g. fiòrd /ˈfjɔːrd/ (fjord) and sord /ˈsuːrd/ (deaf); còta /ˈkɔta/ (cooked) and sota /ˈsota/ (under/below).
Louisiana Creole
editIt is used to represent /ɔ/ by many (but not all) speakers to distinguish it from /o/, represented by o.[1]
Macedonian
editIn Macedonian, о̀̀ is used to differentiate the word о̀̀д (English: walk) from the more common од (English: from). Both о̀̀ and о are pronounced as [o].
Norwegian
editÒ can be found in the Norwegian word òg which is an alternative spelling of også, meaning "also". This word is found in both Nynorsk and Bokmål.
Romagnol
editÒ is used to represent Romagnol pronunciation: [ɔ], e.g. piò Romagnol pronunciation: [pjɔ] "more".
Vietnamese
editIn the Vietnamese alphabet, ò is the huyền tone (falling tone) of "o".
Welsh
editIn Welsh, ò is sometimes used, usually in words borrowed from another language, to mark vowels that are short when a long vowel would normally be expected, e.g., clòs (English: close [of the weather]).
