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 (eng.
from). Both ò and о are pronounced as [o].
