In the Romany and Skolt Sami languages, it represents the palatalized g pronounced as /[ɟ͡ʝ]/.

It has also been used in Czech (and Slovak) orthographies until the middle of the 19th century to represent theconsonant pronounced as //ɡ//, whereas "g" stood for pronounced as //j//.

In the romanization of Pashto, Persian, and South Azeri, ǧ is used to represent pronounced as /link/ (equivalent to غ).

In the Berber Latin and Resian alphabets, ǧ is pronounced pronounced as /link/ as an English J, like in Jimmy.
