===Other languages===
Most [[Romance languages]] and some [[Scandinavian languages]] also have two main pronunciations for {{angbr|g}}, hard and soft. While the soft value of {{angbr|g}} varies in different Romance languages ({{IPA|/ʒ/}} in [[French language|French]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], {{IPA|[(d)ʒ]}} in [[Catalan language|Catalan]], {{IPA|/d͡ʒ/}} in [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Romanian language|Romanian]], and {{IPA|/x/}} in most dialects of [[Spanish language|Spanish]]), in all except Romanian and Italian, soft {{angbr|g}} has the same pronunciation as the {{angbr|j}}.

In Italian and Romanian, {{angbr|gh}} is used to represent {{IPA|/ɡ/}} before front vowels where {{angbr|g}} would otherwise represent a soft value. In Italian and French, {{angbr|[[Gn (digraph)|gn]]}} is used to represent the [[palatal nasal]] {{IPA|/ɲ/}}, a sound somewhat similar to the {{angbr|ny}} in English ''canyon''. In Italian, the [[Trigraph (orthography)|trigraph]] {{angbr|gli}}, when appearing before a vowel or as the article and pronoun ''[[wikt:gli|gli]]'', represents the [[palatal lateral approximant]] {{IPA|/ʎ/}}. Other languages typically use {{angbr|g}} to represent {{IPA|/ɡ/}}, regardless of position.

Amongst European languages, [[Czech language|Czech]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Estonian language|Estonian]] and [[Finnish language|Finnish]] are exceptions, as they do not have {{IPA|/ɡ/}} in their native words. In [[Dutch language|Dutch]], {{angbr|g}} represents a [[voiced velar fricative]] {{IPA|/ɣ/}} instead, a sound that does not occur in modern English, but there is a dialectal variation: many Netherlandic dialects use a voiceless fricative ({{IPA|[x]}} or {{IPA|[χ]}}) instead, and in southern dialects it may be palatal {{IPA|[ʝ]}}. Nevertheless, word-finally, it is always voiceless in all dialects, including the standard Dutch of Belgium and the Netherlands. On the other hand, some dialects (like [[Amelands]]) may have a phonemic {{IPA|/ɡ/}}.

[[Faroese language|Faroese]] uses {{angbr|g}} to represent {{IPA|/dʒ/}}, in addition to {{IPA|/ɡ/}}, and also uses it to indicate a [[semivowel|glide]].

In [[Māori language|Māori]], {{angbr|g}} is used in the digraph {{angbr|ng}} which represents the [[velar nasal]] {{IPA|/ŋ/}} and is pronounced like the {{angbr|ng}} in ''singer''.

The [[Samoan language|Samoan]] and [[Fijian language|Fijian]] languages use the letter {{angbr|g}} by itself for {{IPA|/ŋ/}}.

In older [[Czech language|Czech]] and [[Slovak language|Slovak]] orthographies, {{angbr|g}} was used to represent {{IPA|/j/}}, while {{IPA|/ɡ/}} was written as {{angbr|ǧ}} ({{angbr|g}} with [[caron]]).

The [[Azerbaijani language|Azerbaijani]] Latin alphabet uses {{angbr|g}} exclusively for the "soft" sound, namely {{IPA|/ɟ/}}. The sound {{IPA|/ɡ/}} is written as {{angbr|q}}. This leads to unusual spellings of loanwords: ''qram'' 'gram', ''qrup'' 'group', ''qaraj'' 'garage', ''qallium'' 'gallium'.
