== Other uses ==
In other languages, it is used for other purposes.

* In [[Romanian language|Romanian]], ''A'' with breve represents /[[Mid central vowel|ə]]/, as in ''măr'' (apple).
* [[G-breve]] appears in the [[Azerbaijani language|Azerbaijani]], [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]], [[Crimean Tatar language|Crimean Tatar]], [[Tatar language|Tatar]], and [[Turkish language|Turkish]] alphabets. In Turkish, ''ğ'' lengthens the preceding vowel. It is thus placed between two vowels and is silent in standard Turkish but may be pronounced {{IPA|[ɰ]}} in some regional dialects or varieties closer to [[Ottoman Turkish language|Ottoman Turkish]].
* The breve, together with the [[circumflex]] and [[horn (diacritic)|horn]], are used in the [[Vietnamese language]] to represent additional vowels.
* The [[McCune–Reischauer]] romanization system of Korean uses ''ŏ'' and ''ŭ'' to represent the vowels {{lang|ko|ㅓ}} and {{lang|ko|ㅡ}}.
* [[Ḫ|H-breve below]] Ḫ ḫ is used to transliterate the [[Arabic]] character [[Ḫāʾ]] ({{lang|ar|خ}}) in [[DIN 31635]]. It is also used to transliterate [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]], [[Hittite cuneiform]], and [[Egyptian hieroglyphs]].
*On [[German language]] maps, a double breve is often used in abbreviated placenames that end in ''-b͝g.,'' short for ''-burg,'' a common suffix originally meaning "castle". This prevents misinterpretation as ''-berg,'' another common suffix in placenames (meaning "mountain"). Thus, for example, ''Freib͝g.'' stands for ''[[Freiburg (disambiguation)|Freiburg]],'' not ''[[Freiberg (disambiguation)|Freiberg]].''
*Certain transcription systems for certain [[varieties of Chinese]] employ the breve to represent one of the [[Tone (linguistics)|tones]], including [[Foochow Romanized]] for the [[Fuzhou dialect]] of [[Eastern Min]], and [[Kienning Colloquial Romanized]] for the [[Jian'ou dialect]] of [[Northern Min]] (which also uses the [[caron]]).
*In [[Khmer language|Khmer]], ă, ĕ, ĭ, ŏ, œ̆, and ŭ are used in Khmer romanization, e.g. ''siĕm reăp'' (Siem Reap).
* In the [[Syriac language]]s, ''ĕ'' is used to denote an "eh" or /ˈɛ/ sound.
* The [[ISO 259]] Romanization of Hebrew uses ''ă'', ''ḝ'', and ''ŏ'' for reduced vowels.
* In [[Spanish language|Spanish-language]] vocal music, a breve below is sometimes used to indicate [[elision#Spanish|elision]] across word boundaries, as in "por-que ̮en-ton-ces."
* In [[Malay language]], E with breve ''ĕ'' was used for [[schwa]] in [[Za'aba Spelling]].
