Talk:Reversed ezh

Latin? Really?

I am skeptical about the assertion that this is "a letter of the Latin alphabet". Since when did Latin ever have pharyngeals? Or voiced fricatives for that matter? Unless I am very badly misinformed, someone must have added (or proposed adding) this letter at some later point in time for some purpose entirely unrelated to Latin. The article really needs to clarify those details, as they seem like the most important thing to know about the character. --Jonadab, 2022 Nov 24 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonadab~enwiki (talk • contribs) 04:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

PronunƸiation

How does one pronounce /Ƹ/, and in what language is/was it used? It seems like one of those "odd" latin letters that is used in African languages, or an IPA rejected letter. Is it a postalveolar consonant, like the voiced postalveolar plosive, or is it palatal? --bibliotheque (Talk) 02:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

It represents a voiced pharyngeal fricative. --Ptcamn 11:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Pharyngeals are notoriously difficult to learn to pronounce, for anyone who doesn't natively speak a language that has them. (Most languages don't have them.) Your best bet is to find a native speaker of Arabic (by far the best-known language that has both pharyngeals and native speakers), ideally one who is also a linguist and lives near you, and ask them to teach you. --Jonadab, 2022 Nov 24 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonadab~enwiki (talk • contribs) 04:13, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Ƹ → Reversed ezh – Character likely on no keyboards (WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS). Also consistent with Ezh. However, is this current title better, or should we move similar to C with breve and per WP:CONSISTENT? - BᴏᴅʜıHᴀᴙᴩ (talk, contributions) 22:20, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Support per OP, for an article created in 2006 and never brought into compliance. I'm not sure what the comparison with C with breve is here, though. Remsense 🌈 论 22:22, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Support as this should ahve been done awhile ago. Also, create redirect from reverse tailed z, as ezh has tailed z? - UtherSRG (talk) 16:55, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

• Support per nom and others. I also am not clear what alternative title would be analogous to C with breve. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 00:25, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
• Support per nom, and Reverse tailed z redirect. DankJae 21:53, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
