- the letter a with circumflex, used in Turkish spelling, representing /ʲa/, /ʲaː/, or /aː/
Usage notes
Not considered a letter of the alphabet, but the letter a with the circumflex diacritic. Represents palatalized k or g in the same syllable (i.e. /c/, /ɟ/) or long a (/aː/) where it is phonemic.
Note that the palatalizing effect of the letter â means that it can never appear in the same syllable as a /k/ or /ɡ/ sound, even when it would be needed to mark vowel length and distinguish two homographs.

Etymology 1
In origin a specialised prepositional use of a (“and”).[1] (The distinction in spelling and pronunciation between the two prevocalic forms ag and ac is artificial.)
Alternative forms
- ag (used before vowels)
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /a/Category:Welsh terms with IPA pronunciation#A
- Homophone: aCategory:Welsh terms with homophones#A
The circumflex is used to distinguish the word from a (“and”) rather than to indicate vowel length.

Usage notes
- In formal language, â triggers the aspirate mutation, but colloquially this is usually absent unless in certain set phrases. Before vowels, ag is used instead, but often it remains â colloquially.
- In the colloquial language â meaning “with” is mostly used after specific verbs, such as cwrdd (“meet”) or ymweld (“visit”). The synonyms gyda or efo are used more generally.
- Note especially the forms mynd â (“take”, literally “go with”) and dod â (“bring”, literally “come with”). Compare:
