==Usage==

In most languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet – such as [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]], [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]], [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Rusyn language|Rusyn]], [[Serbian language|Serbian]], [[Macedonian language|Macedonian]] and [[Montenegrin language|Montenegrin]] – the Cyrillic letter А represents the [[open central unrounded vowel]] {{IPA|/a/}}. In [[Ingush language|Ingush]] and [[Chechen language|Chechen]] the Cyrillic letter А represents both the [[open back unrounded vowel]] {{IPA|/ɑ/}} when stressed and the [[mid-central vowel]] {{IPA|/ə/}} when unstressed. In [[Turkic languages|Turkic]] languages that use the [[Cyrillic script]] it represents the [[open back unrounded vowel]] {{IPA|/ɑ/}}, with the exception of [[Tatar language|Volga Tatar]], in which it represents the [[open back rounded vowel]] {{IPA|/ɒ/}}, and Uzbek, in which it represents the [[near-open front unrounded vowel]] {{IPA|/æ/}}. In languages that contrast [[vowel length]] the letter can be written as a [[Digraph (orthography)#Homogeneous digraph|double vowel]].{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jWwqAAAAQBAJ|title=Compendium of the World's Languages|first1=George L.|last1=Campbell|first2=Gareth|last2=King|date=24 July 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781136258459|access-date=14 June 2016|via=Google Books}}
