Editing Tilde (section)

====Other uses====
Some languages and alphabets use the tilde for other purposes, such as:
* [[Arabic script]]: A symbol resembling the tilde ({{unichar|0653|ARABIC MADDAH ABOVE|cwith=ـ|nlink=Arabic diacritics#Maddah}}) is used over the letter {{angle bracket|ا}} ({{IPA|/a/}}) to become <big>{{angle bracket|[[آ]]}}</big>, denoting a long {{IPA|/ʔaː/}} sound.
* [[Guaraní language|Guaraní]]: The tilded {{angle bracket|[[G̃]]}} (note that {{angle bracket|G/g}} with tilde is not available as a precomposed glyph in [[Unicode]]) stands for the [[velar nasal]] consonant. Also, the tilded {{angle bracket|y}} ({{angle bracket|Ỹ}}) stands for the nasalized upper central rounded vowel {{IPA|[ɨ̃]}}. [[Munduruku language|Munduruku]], Parintintín, and two older spellings of Filipino words also use {{angle bracket|g̃}}.
* [[Syriac script]]: A tilde (~) under the letter ''[[Kaph]]'' represents a {{IPA|[t͡ʃ]}} sound, transliterated as ''ch'' or ''č''.<ref>[[Eberhard Nestle|Nestle, Eberhard]] (1888).

[translated to English as ''Syriac grammar with bibliography, chrestomathy and glossary'', by R. S. Kennedy. London: Williams & Norgate 1889. p. 5].</ref>
* [[Estonian phonology|Estonian]] and [[Võro language|Võro]] use the tilde above the letter o ('''õ''') to indicate the vowel {{IPA|[ɤ]}}, a rare sound among languages.
* [[Unicode]] has a [[combining character|combining]] vertical tilde character: {{unichar|033E|COMBINING VERTICAL TILDE|cwith=◌}}. It is used to indicate [[tone accent|middle tone]] in linguistic transcription of certain dialects of the [[Lithuanian language]],<ref>Lithuanian Standards Board (LST), [http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2597.pdf proposal for a zigzag diacritic]</ref> and was also used historically in the letter [[х̾]], which was part of the [[Cyrillization of Polish under the Russian Empire|Polish Cyrillic alphabet]] of the late 19th century.
* [[Resurrección María de Azkue]]'s 1906 Basque dictionary used an idiosyncratic spelling including {{anglebracket|[[ã]] [[d̃]] [[ẽ]] [[ĩ]] [[l̃]] [[ñ]] [[õ]] [[s̃]] [[t̃]] [[ũ]] [[x̃]]}}.<ref name="Azkue">{{cite web |title=R.
