For the fricatives š, ž, and the affricate č only, the caron is used in the Finno-Lappic languages which use the Latin alphabet, such as Estonian, Finnish, Karelian and some Sami languages.

Of the Uralic languages, Estonian ( and transcriptions to Finnish ) use Š / š and Ž / ž, and Karelian and some Sami languages use Č / č, Š / š and Ž / ž — Dž is not a separate letter.
