message: Г can also make the h sound.  Гусар is actually pronounced more or less like Хусар.  I added it to the article, but it was deleted.... Davidleeroth 17:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the claim, that the bulgarian г is pronounced as a palatalised g, since Bulgarian doesn't really have palatalised consonants. See: Handbook of the International Phonetic Association (1999). http://books.google.com/books?id=33BSkFV_8PEC&printsec=frontcover&dq=handbook+of+the+international+phonetic+association&hl=en&ei=YdmxTb-aIIvqObXNjfMI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Bulgarian&f=false --Kreuzkümmel (talk) 19:47, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The authors of the chapter on Bulgarian in the IPA handbook do not claim that there are no palatalized consonants in Bulgarian, but only that they are going to interpret them as C+j. --V111P (talk) 09:13, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Is there a source that can describe why the standard and italic forms of г are so distinctly different? Honestly there are a lot of Cyrillic letters that need this explanation, but I think this is one of the most prominent. I would assume it has something to do with the evolution of handwritten Cyrillic, but that really doesn't say much in the long run, and it would be nice to have a more precise explanation.

message: In Ukrainian and Belarusian, a voiced velar plosive /ɡ/ 'is present only in loanwords and is written with the Cyrillic letter Ghe with upturn (Ґ ґ) in Ukrainian and with the digraph кг in Belarusian. 
This is not completely true. For example there is Ukrainian word ґава (crow) is pronouced with a voiced velar plosive /ɡ/ (gava). I am not fluent in Belarusian but I think there are some words where this occurs. RMN120501 (talk) 09:59, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

message: As far as I can tell, the name ghe is chiefly (only?) used in the context of digital character encoding. From searching online it appears it was used in MARC encoding standards, possibly coming from ISO 5427 and/or ISO 2022, although I can’t find any sources to determine if the name appeared in code charts all the way back to 1971 or whenever.
Unicode used ge in the 1991 Unicode standard 1.0 (p 206). In the 1993 version 1.1 ge was demoted to an alternate name below ghe (p 50), and in the 1996 version 2.0 it disappeared (p 7-50). 
It would be good to note in the article that ghe is restricted to the subject of computer encoding if we can source it properly, or at least note that it is used in that context.  —Michael Z. 20:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
