The Cyrillic letter Ge stroke or Ayn (in Kazakh) (Ғ,ғ) is a Г with a horizontal stroke. It is used in Kazakh and Uzbek 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/.
[edit] Transliteration
In Kazakh, it is transliterated as ğ or gh, and in Uzbek it is transliterated as g`. In Azerbaijani, it is transliterated as ğ.
