P with acute ( majuscule: Ṕ, minuscule: ṕ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the acute diacritic over the letter P. It is used in Washo, Chimane alphabet by Wayne Gill, [1] and in the ISO 9 romanization of Abkhaz language. [2] In the past, it was used in Lower Sorbian [3] and Middle Polish. [4] [5]
In Washo, it represents the bilabial ejective stop ([pʼ]) sound.
In the ISO 9 romanization of Abkhaz language, the letter replaces pe with middle hook (majuscule: Ҧ, minuscule: ҧ), which is pronounced as aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive ([pʰ]) sound. [2]
The letter appeared in the alphabet made by Jan Kochanowski for the Middle Polish language, that was used from 16th until 18th century. It represented the palatalized voiceless bilabial plosive ([pʲ]) sound. [4] [5]
