Is the letter O used in Arabic language?

No, the letter "O" as it exists in the English alphabet is not used in the Arabic language. Arabic has its own distinct alphabet with 28 letters, and none of them represent the sound "O" as in "open" or "coat."

However, the sound "O" can be represented in Arabic using combinations of letters:

* او (aw): This combination represents the "ow" sound in words like "cow" or "now."

* و (w): The letter "w" can sometimes represent the "o" sound in words that are borrowed from other languages.

It's important to remember that Arabic is a phonemic script, meaning each letter represents a single sound. This means that the "O" sound in English words is not a distinct sound in Arabic.
