Ge with stroke

Ge with stroke (Ғ ғ, italics: Ғ ғ), or Ghayn, is a Cyrillic letter which represents the letter Г with a horizontal stroke. It is also used in the Bashkir, Kazakh Cyrillic and Uzbek Cyrillic alphabets where it represents a voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/. Despite having a similar shape, it is not related to the F of the Latin alphabet. In Kazakh, this letter may also represent the voiced velar fricative /ɣ/. In the Uzbek Latin alphabet, this letter corresponds to Gʻ. The letter is also used to write Bashkir, Tajik, Karakalpak, Shor, Siberian Tatar, Nivkh, and Azerbaijani (in Russia), and was also formerly used in Azerbaijan. It is similar to the letter Ğ found in Turkish and Latin Azerbaijani alphabets.
