Glottal stop (letter)
- This article is about the International Phonetic Alphabet symbol. For the sound it typically represents, see glottal stop.
The glottal stop (') is an International Phonetic Alphabet symbol used to represent a glottal stop consonant. Its reversed form, ʕ', denotes a voiced pharyngeal fricative. With a bar, ʡ, it represents an epiglottal stop. Both barred and reversed, ʢ, it represents a voiced epiglottal fricative. The X-SAMPA equivalents of these are ?, ?\, >\ and <\, respectively.
An inverted glottal stop, ʖ, is used in some African languages to represent a lateral click.
