Ò, ò (o-grave) is a letter of the Latin script.

Usage in various languages

Kashubian

Ò is the 28th letter of the Kashubian alphabet and represents /wɛ/.

Vietnamese

In the Vietnamese alphabet, ò is the huyền tone (falling tone) of "o".

Chinese

In Chinese pinyin, ò is the yángqù tone (阳去, falling tone) of "o".

Welsh

In Welsh, the grave accent is used on o to denote a short [ɔ] sound in a word that would otherwise be pronounced with a long [oː] sound: còd [kɔd] "cod" versus cod [koːd] "code".

Italian

In 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/.

Emilian-Romagnol

In Emilian, ò is used to represent [ɔː], e.g. òs [ɔːs] "bone". In Romagnol, it is used to represent [ɔ], e.g. piò [pjɔ] "more".

Norwegian

Ò 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.

Macedonian

In Macedonian, ò is used to differentiate the word òд (eng. walk) from the more common од (enf. from). Both ò and о are pronounced as [o].
