Irish
Letter
ċ (upper case Ċ)
- The letter c with a ponc séimhithe (dot above), used primarily in Gaelic type; equivalent to the digraph ch in roman type.
Maltese
Etymology
The dot indicates the “softer” of two pronunciations, in this case the affricate /t͡ʃ/ instead of the plosive /k/ (the two possible realisations of c in Italian). Compare ġ and ż.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /t͡ʃ/
- IPA(key): /d͡ʒ/ (per assimilation to a following voiced obstruent)
Usage notes
- In contemporary Maltese, the simple letter c is only used in names and not yet integrated borrowings (chiefly from English, as Italo-Romance words are automatically integrated).
Old English
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /t͡ʃ/
Letter
ċ (lower case, upper case Ċ)
- A modified version of c sometimes used in modern texts, representing a /k/ that underwent palatalization.
Slovene
Alternative forms
- (more common) c̣ (c + ◌̣)
Etymology
Letter a with dot above ◌̇ to signify a consonant between alveolar and post-alveolar pronunciation.
Pronunciation
- (sound, unofficial): IPA(key): [t͇͡s͇]
Usage notes
Although by the description, the corresponding IPA representation should be approximately [t͇͡s͇], no equivalent IPA representation is given in the source.
