| The inverted breve is also known as an arch. Note that it may easily be confused with [[Natlang_Uses_of_Circumflex|circumflex]], ˆ. The inverted breve is not part of the orthography of any language, but it is used in linguistic materials about Serbian, Croatian and Slovene.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_breve] It was derived from the circumflex in Ancient Greek.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_breve#Serbo-Croatian]
