gờ kép

== Vietnamese == === Etymology === gờ (“gee”) +‎ kép (“double”). === Pronunciation === (Hà Nội) IPA(key): [ɣəː˨˩ kɛp̚˧˦] (Huế) IPA(key): [ɣəː˦˩ kɛp̚˦˧˥] (Saigon) IPA(key): [ɣəː˨˩ kɛp̚˦˥] === Noun === gờ kép (informal) The name of the Latin-script digraph GH/gh ==== Usage notes ==== Used to say "a 'hard' g that only occurs before e, ê, i". There's really no such thing as a "soft g". gi is a digraph per se rather than just a "soft g" occurring before an i. Both the digraphs gh and gi were merely borrowed from Italian orthography. === See also === gờ đơn ngờ kép gi
