The '''double grave accent''' (<span style="font-family: serif">{{char|◌̏}}</span>)<!-- This sample uses <span style="font-family: serif"> because of rendering limitation in Android (as of v13), that its default sans font fails to render "dotted circle + diacritic", so visitors just get a meaningless (to most) [X] mark. Please retain at least until the issue is resolved because this is a very large proportion of visitors. --> is a [[diacritic]] used in scholarly discussions of the [[Serbo-Croatian language|Serbo-Croatian]] and sometimes [[Slovene language|Slovene]] languages. It is also used in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]].

In Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian, double grave accent is used to indicate a short falling [[tone (linguistics)|tone]], though in discussion of Slovenian, a single [[grave accent]] is also often used for this purpose. The double grave accent is found in both [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] and [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]]; however, it is not used in the everyday orthography of any language, only in discussions of [[phonology]].

In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the double grave accent is used to indicate extra-low [[tone (linguistics)|tone]].

The letters '''a''', '''e''', '''i''', '''o''', '''r''', '''u''', and their Cyrillic equivalents '''а''', '''е''', '''и''', '''о''', '''р''', and '''у''' can all be found with the double grave accent. [[Unicode]] provides [[precomposed character]]s for the uppercase and the lowercase Latin letters but not the Cyrillic letters. The Cyrillic letters can be formed using the [[combining character]] for the double grave, which is located at U+030F. The combining character can also be used with IPA vowel symbols, if necessary.
