P with acute (majuscule: Ṕ, minuscule: ṕ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the acute diacritic over the letter P. It is used in Washo, Chimane alphabet by Wayne Gill,[1] and in the ISO 9 romanization of Abkhaz language. In the past, it was used in Lower Sorbian[2] and Middle Polish.
In Washo, it represents the bilabial ejective stop (pronounced as /[pʼ]/) sound.
In the ISO 9 romanization of Abkhaz language, the letter replaces pe with middle hook (majuscule: Ҧ, minuscule: ҧ), which is pronounced as aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive (pronounced as /[pʰ]/) sound.[3]
The letter appeared in the alphabet made by Jan Kochanowski for the Middle Polish language, that was used from 16th until 18th century. It represented the palatalized voiceless bilabial plosive (pronounced as /[pʲ]/) sound.[4] [5]
