Ò, ò (o-grave) is a letter of the Latin script.
It is used in Catalan, Emilian, Lombard, Papiamento, Occitan, Kashubian, Romagnol, Sardinian, Scottish Gaelic, Taos, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, Louisiana Creole, Norwegian, Welsh and Italian.
In Chinese pinyin, ò is the yángqù tone (阳去, falling tone) of "o".
Ò is used to represent pronounced as /egl/, e.g. òs pronounced as /egl/ "bone".
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/.
Ò is the 28th letter of the Kashubian alphabet and represents pronounced as //wɛ//, like the pronunciation of (we) in "wet".
It 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).
It is used to represent /ɔ/ by many (but not all) speakers to distinguish it from /o/, represented by o.[1]
In 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 in Macedonian pronounced as /o/.
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.
Ò is used to represent pronounced as /rgn/, e.g. piò pronounced as /rgn/ "more".
In the Vietnamese alphabet, ò is the huyền tone (falling tone) of "o".
In 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]).
