====Other articulatory features==== * In [[Emilian dialect|Emilian]], ''ê ô'' {{IPA|[eː, oː]}} denote both length and height. * In [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]], [[Cebuano language|Cebuano]] and most [[Philippine languages]], the circumflex accent (''pakupyâ'') is used to represent the simultaneous occurrence of a stress and a [[glottal stop]] on the last vowel of a word. Though not part of the official alphabet, possible combinations can include: â, ê, î, ô, and û. But in the case of [[Tboli language|T'boli]], the circumflex accent is only used as a pure unstressed glottal stop. It works as a combination of acute and grave accent; with the case of letters é and ó which represents the sound of {{IPAslink|ɛ}} and {{IPAslink|o}} respectively and can be shown as ê and ô if it contains a glottal stop.<ref name="expr">{{Cite web |last=Morrow |first=Paul |date=March 16, 2011 |title=The Basics of Filipino Pronunciation: Part 2 of 3: Accent Marks |url=http://www.pilipino-express.com/history-a-culture/in-other-words/1180-basics-of-filipino-pronunciation-part-2.html |access-date=July 18, 2012 |website=Pilipino Express |archive-date=December 27, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111227075213/http://www.pilipino-express.com/history-a-culture/in-other-words/1180-basics-of-filipino-pronunciation-part-2.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="tagalog">{{Cite book |url=http://www.supadu.com/images/ckfinder/26/pdfs/PIMSLEUR/Tagalog_Phase1-Bklt.pdf |title=Tagalog Reading Booklet |date=2007 |publisher=Simon & Schister's Pimsleur |page=5–6 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131127030759/http://www.supadu.com/images/ckfinder/26/pdfs/PIMSLEUR/Tagalog_Phase1-Bklt.pdf |archive-date=2013-11-27 |url-status=dead}}</ref> *In [[Romagnol dialect|Romagnol]], they are used to represent the diphthongs {{IPA|/eə, oə/}}, whose specific articulation varies between dialects, e.g. ''sêl'' {{IPA|[seəl~seɛl~sæɛl~sɛɘl]}} "salt". * In [[Old Tupi]], the circumflex changed a vowel into a [[semivowel]]: ''î'' {{IPAblink|j}}, ''û'' {{IPAblink|w}}, and ''ŷ'' {{IPAblink|ɰ}}. *In [[Rusyn language|Rusyn]], the letter ''ŷ'' {{IPAblink|ɨ}} is sometimes used to transliterate the [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]] ''ы''. * In [[Turkish language|Turkish]], the circumflex over ''a'' and ''u'' is sometimes used in words of [[Arabic]] or [[Persian language|Persian]] derivation to indicate when a preceding consonant (''k'', ''g'', ''l'') is to be pronounced as a [[palatal consonant|palatal]] plosive; {{IPAblink|c}}, {{IPAblink|ɟ}} (''kâğıt'', ''gâvur'', ''mahkûm'', ''Gülgûn''). The circumflex over ''i'' is used to indicate a [[Arabic nouns and adjectives#Nisba|nisba]] suffix (''millî'', ''dinî'').<ref name="tdk" /> * In [[Pe̍h-ōe-jī]] romanization of [[Hokkien]], the circumflex over a vowel (a, e, i, o, o͘, u) or a syllabic nasal (m, ng) indicate the [[tone (linguistics)|tone]] number 5, traditionally called Yang Level or Light Level (陽平). The [[tone contour]] is usually low rising. For example, ''ê'' {{IPA|[e˩˧]}}, ''n̂g'' {{IPA|[ŋ̩˩˧]}}.
