===Other languages=== In most European languages written in the Latin script, such as [[Romance language|Romance]] and [[Germanic languages]], {{angbr|q}} appears almost exclusively in the digraph {{angbr|qu}}. In [[French language|French]], [[Occitan language|Occitan]], [[Catalan language|Catalan]], and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], {{angbr|qu}} represents {{IPA|/k/}} or {{IPA|/kw/}}; in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], it represents {{IPA|/k/}}. {{angbr|qu}} replaces {{angbr|[[c]]}} for {{IPA|/k/}} before front vowels {{angbr|i}} and {{angbr|e}}, since in those languages {{angbr|c}} represents a fricative or affricate before front vowels. In [[Italian language|Italian]], {{angbr|qu}} represents {{IPA|[kw]}} (where {{IPA|[w]}} is the [[semivowel]] allophone of {{IPA|/u/}}). In [[Albanian language|Albanian]], Q represents {{IPA|/c/}}, as in '''Sh''q''ip'''. The letter is often not used often or at all in other languages, The letter is not officially part of the [[Cornish language|Cornish]] ([[Standard Written Form]]), [[Estonian orthography|Estonian]], [[Icelandic alphabet|Icelandic]], [[Irish alphabet|Irish]], [[Latvian alphabet|Latvian]], [[Lithuanian orthography|Lithuanian]], [[Polish orthography|Polish]], [[Gaj's Latin alphabet|Serbo-Croatian]], [[Scottish Gaelic orthography|Scottish Gaelic]], [[Slovene alphabet|Slovenian]], [[Turkish alphabet|Turkish]], or [[Welsh alphabet|Welsh]] alphabets. However, in some of them, it may be found in borrowings. {{angbr|q}} has a wide variety of other pronunciations in some European languages and in non-European languages that have adopted the Latin alphabet.
