Uses of Caron
Usage Language Letters Notes
Change of manner of articulation Czech Řř /r̝/ This is a raised non-sonorant trill. Unaccented Rr stands for /r/.[2]
Disambiguation in transliteration Amharic (BGN/PCGN 1967 transliteration) Šš /s/ The Geʽez script has two types of characters that are both pronounced /s/ in Amharic due to sounds mergers. These may be transliterated with Ss and Šš. The caron may also be dropped though.[3]
Falling-rising (dipping) tone Fon Ǎǎ [a᷉], Ěě [e᷉], Ɛ̌ɛ̌ [ɛ᷉], Ǐǐ [i᷉], Ǒǒ [o᷉], Ɔ̌ɔ̌ [ɔ᷉], Ǔǔ [u᷉] The falling-rising tone is not phonemic in Fon, but it is still marked with a caron. Tones are however not always marked at all.[4] Note that Ɛ̌ɛ̌ and Ɔ̌ɔ̌ are not precomposed characters.
Mandarin (Pinyin romanization) Ǎǎ /a˨˩˦/, Ěě /ə˨˩˦/, Ǐǐ /i˨˩˦/, Ǒǒ /ə˨˩˦/, Ǔǔ /u˨˩˦/, Ǚǚ /y˨˩˦/ Pinyin was created in the 1950s, and its tone marks were based on the Bopomofo phonetic notation.[5] Note that these tone values are based on the Beijing dialect.[6]
Palatal phoneme Czech Ďď /ɟ/, Ěě /(j)ɛ/, Ňň /ɲ/, Ťť /c/ Ěě stands for an /ɛ/ that makes a previous Dd, Nn, Tt be /ɟ, ɲ, c/, a previous Bb, Ff, Pp, Vv be /bj, fj, pj, vj/, and a previous Mm /mɲ/. This letter is not found in other positions.[7]
Slovak Ďď /ɟ/, Ľľ /ʎ/, Ňň /ɲ/, Ťť /c/ In Slovak handwriting ď, ľ and ť have an actual caron instead of an apostrophe.[8]
Postalveolar consonant Akkadian (DMG-umschrift transliteration), Ancient Egyptian (traditional transliteration) Šš /ʃ/ Because Akkadian[9] and Ancient Egyptian[10] are extinct languages, the exact pronunciation can't be known for sure; so the phonemic representation here might not be entirely accurate.
Arabic (DIN 31635 romanization, ISO/R 233 romanization) Čč /t͡ʃ/, Ǧǧ /d͡ʒ~ʒ~ɡ/, Šš /ʃ/, Žž /ʒ~zˤ/ Čč and Žž represent the letters چ and ز which are not Arabic letters, but can be used in Arabic texts for transcribing sounds found in other languages.[11][12]
Arabic (ISO 233 romanization) Ǧǧ /d͡ʒ~ʒ~ɡ/, Šš /ʃ/
Arabic (Hans Wehr romanization) ǧ /d͡ʒ~ʒ~ɡ/, š /ʃ/, ž /ʒ~zˤ/ ǧ was replaced by j in the fourth edition of this romanization scheme.[13] ž represents the letter ز which is not an Arabic letter, but can be used in Arabic texts for transcribing sounds found in other languages.[12] Hans Wehr romanization does not include capital letters.[13]
Czech, Latgalian, Latvian Čč /tʃ/, Šš /ʃ/, Žž /ʒ/ Unaccented Cc stands for /ts/ in Czech, Latvian and Latgalian.
Livonian Šš /ʃ/, Žž /ʒ/
North Sami (1979 orthography) Čč /tʃ/, Šš /ʃ/, Žž /dʒ/ Unaccented Cc stands for /ts/, and unaccented Zz for /dz/.
Slovak Čč /tʃ/, DŽdž /dʒ/, Šš /ʃ/, Žž /ʒ/
Retroflex consonant Adyghe (BGN/PCGN 2012 romanization) Čč /ʈʂ/ There is no simple Cc in the BGN/PCGN 2012 romanization, but there is a Ch ch which represents /tʃ/.[14]
Serbian Čč /ʈʂ/, DŽ Dž dž /ɖʐ/, Šš /ʂ/, Žž /ʐ/ These sounds are often transcribed as postalveolar /tʃ, dʒ, ʃ, ʒ/.[15] DŽ is only used in all-caps text, and is consider the capital letter. Dž is used when only the first letter of a word is capitalized, and it is referred to as titlecase.[16]
Uvular consonant Heiltsuk-Oowekyala (Heiltsuk dialect, official orthography and Rath's orthography) Ǧǧ /ɢ/, Ǧv ǧv /ɢʷ/, X̌x̌ /χ/, X̌v x̌v /χʷ/ Note that X̌x̌ is not a precomposed letter.
