It is used in Lower Sorbian to represent /rʲ/, the palatalised alveolar trill.

Basque

In Sabino Arana's orthography^[1] of the Basque language, ⟨ŕ⟩ was used for the /r/ contrasting with ⟨r⟩ which was used for /ɾ/. However, in the standard Basque alphabet, /r/ is represented with ⟨r⟩ in syllable-final positions and ⟨rr⟩ between vowels.
