The sound represented in Romanian by ă is a mid-central vowel/ə/, i.e. schwa. Unlike in English, Catalan and French but like in Indonesian (using e rather than ă), the vowel can be stressed. There are words in which it is the only vowel, such as măr/mər/ ("apple") or văd/vəd/ ("I see"). Additionally, some words that also contain other vowels can have the stress on ă like cărțile/ˈkərt͡sile/ ("the books") and odăi/oˈdəj/ ("rooms"). Another grapheme <a> with diacritic in Romanian is <â>.
Vietnameseedit
Ă is the 2nd letter of the Vietnamese alphabet and represents /ă/. Because Vietnamese is a tonal language this letter may have any one of the 5 tonal symbols above or below it (or even no accent at all, since the Vietnamese first tone is identified by the lack of accent marks). See Vietnamese phonology.

Malayedit
The sound represented in pre-1972 Malaysian orthography by ă is a vowel. It occurred in the final syllable of the root word such as lamă/lamə/ ("long", "old"), mată/matə/ ("eye"), and sană/sanə/ ("there"). The letter was replaced in 1972 with a in the New Rumi Spelling.
Balineseedit
Ă or ă are used in Balinese romanization, e.g. Kabupatén Tăbăṅan (Tabanan Regency ).
