However, it's important to note that umlauts are not specifically used to indicate the short "o" sound. They are used to modify the pronunciation of vowels in various languages, including German, Finnish, Hungarian, and Swedish. In German, for example, the "ä" with two dots is pronounced as a short "e" sound, similar to the "a" in "cat."
The short "o" sound in English is typically represented by the letter "o," as in "hot" or "lot."
