A number of trigraphs are found in the Latin script, most of these used especially in Irish orthography.
⟨aai⟩ is used in Dutch to write the sound /aːi̯/.
⟨abh⟩ is used in Irish to write the sound /əu̯/, or in Donegal, /oː/, between broad consonants.
⟨adh⟩ is used in Irish to write the sound /əi̯/, or in Donegal, /eː/, between broad consonants, or an unstressed /ə/ at the end of a word.
⟨aei⟩ is used in Irish to write the sound /eː/ between a broad and a slender consonant.
⟨agh⟩ is used in Irish to write the sound /əi̯/, or in Donegal, /eː/, between broad consonants.
⟨aim⟩ is used in French to write the sound /ɛ̃/ (/ɛm/ before a vowel).
⟨ain⟩ is used in French to write the sound /ɛ̃/ (/ɛn/ before a vowel). It also represents /ɛ̃/ in Tibetan Pinyin, where it is alternatively written än.
⟨aío⟩ is used in Irish to write the sound /iː/ between broad consonants.
⟨amh⟩ is used in Irish to write the sound /əu̯/, or in Donegal, /oː/, between broad consonants.
The letter yogh (Ȝ ȝ; Middle English: yoȝ) was used in Middle English and Older Scots, representing y (/j/) and various velar phonemes. It was derived from the Old English form of the letter g.
In Middle English writing, tailed z came to be indistinguishable from yogh.
In Middle Scots the character yogh became confused with a cursive z and the early Scots printers often used z when yogh was not available in their fonts. Consequently, some Lowland Scots words have a z in place of a yogh.
Yogh is shaped similarly to the Hindu-Arabic numeral three (3), which is sometimes substituted for the character in online reference works. (Coincidentally, the Arabic letter Ayin (ع), representing an unvoiced pharyngeal fricative, resembles a mirror-image "3".) There is some confusion about the letter in the literature, as the English language was far from standardised at the time. The upper and lower case letters (Ȝ, ȝ) are represented in Unicode by code points U+021C Ȝ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER YOGH (HTML Ȝ
) and U+021D ȝ LATIN SMALL LETTER YOGH (HTML ȝ
) respectively.
